When we imagine the future, we usually imagine ourselves embedded in a mechanized ecosystem populated by robots, machines and virtual realities. The future is bright and technological, and we humans are the only living actors in this beautiful world. However, such a vision is a big mistake, states biologist and ecologist Rob Dunn. No matter how much we try to subjugate nature, we remain part of it and directly dependent on it. In With or Without Us, Dunn discusses biological laws as immutable as the laws of physics, how the world around us is changing, what fate awaits the species we know, and where and how new ones will form. In doing so, in its long history on the planet, humanity has unwittingly exterminated wild species on which it has depended or could have depended, while at the same time fostering the emergence of species that are causing us trouble.
Now, if we ourselves as a species are to survive, we must learn to understand and obey biological laws. Then our chances of living another 100, 1000 or even a million years will be greatly improved.
