While perusing the ledge of a great Portlandbookstore(Portland , OR really has the full used record memory board in the country ) I stumbled across the bookDoomsday 1999 A.D.byCharles Berlitzand directly flipped to the last chapter .
In the “ apocalypse porno ” music genre you ’ll find that the net chapter is where the generator either dodge his bet ( maybe we wo n’t all die , after all … ) or volunteer an absurd possibility for the selection of mankind ( let ’s spike extraneous food aid withanti - fecundity drug ! ) . Berlitz choose to do a bit of both with a chapter called “ The Arks of the Future . ”
Below is an selection from the net chapter of the Good Book .
Although the idea of pilot UFOs and intelligent life in place is usually considered with a certain amount of sardonic humor , it nevertheless remains a possibility and should be moot as an added opportunity for Earth ’s peoples , through noesis of its thrust and method , to educate another agency of escape from our environment if or when it becomes indefensible .
Our legends from an earlier world tell us of a great ship or ships which ply a refuge in far places of the world , but perhaps after the next catastrophe Earth itself may become inimicable to humanity . Our survival plans should therefore be connote on an intensified exploration of space ; not only to find a refuge but also to lucubrate our observation of the universe of discourse , to be able thereby to annul or moderate danger within the macrocosm which may even now be drawing closer to Earth .
