About Living in the End Times

Whether the subject in question is democracy, climate change, biomedical engineering, or the American university, it is clear that the society we have known will soon no longer be. As humankind stares into an abyss the bottom of which we cannot yet see, the producers of Living in The End Times thought it prudent to discuss the tumult around us and our species’ prospects for the future. We hope you will join in the conversation.
