We are meeting a time of many endings. The overly-complex systems that govern modern human life are meeting their inevitable demise. Centuries of human industrial activity has thrown the living systems of the Earth into disarray, and mass extinction ensues.

The question of human extinction is less a matter of "if" but more a matter of "when." If what is happening is happening, how, then, shall we live?
