A pandemic draws our global community to a halt. everywhere you look there’s an omen, a joke whose punchline is the end of the world. how is a person supposed to live in the shadow of such a grim future? what might it be like to live through the worst? and what on earth is anybody doing about it? dublin-based writer mark o’connell is consumed by these questions—and, as the father of two young children, he finds them increasingly urgent. in notes from an apocalypse, he crosses the globe in pursuit of answers. he tours survival bunkers in south dakota. he ventures to new zealand, a favored retreat of billionaires banking on civilization’s collapse. he engages with would-be mars colonists, preppers, right-wing conspiracists. what emerges is an absorbing, funny, and deeply felt book about our anxious present tense—and coming to grips with what’s ahead.

"in an age of pandemics, climate change, and political unrest, you don't have to be a prepper to worry about the future or to wonder how you can prepare for it. many of us conjure up images of a post-apocalyptic world where life is simple, our needs and goals clear. drawing on three decades of archeological and anthropological research on civilizations as diverse as the maya, the roman empire, and the angor watt, begley shows that apocalypses hardly ever result in the disappearance of an entire population. the collapse of the maya civilization in the thirteenth century is a case in point. though the maya left behind a great many vacated cities and complexes, the people survived. in fact, there are still five million maya alive today. such migration is one of the hallmarks of the apocalypse that begley envisions. planning for the apocalypse isn't simply about learning how to find food and water or to start a fire. those skills won't hurt. and that begins with helping others. combining the experiences, insights, and acumen of an adventurer with the scholarly perspectives of an archeologist and anthropologist, begley transforms our understanding of the fall of civilizations and challenges us to build a future rooted in empathy, humanity, and a commitment to the common good"–
