Title: The End of Heaven
Subtitle: Disaster and Suffering in a Scientific Age
Author: Sidney Dekker
Narrator: Sidney Dekker
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-12-17
Publisher: Sidney Dekker
Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences
Publisher's Summary:
In this deeply personal audiobook, Sidney Dekker narrates his own experiences with disaster and suffering, and in the process, he examines a largely unexplored dilemma.
Our scientific age has equipped us ever better to explain why things go wrong. But this increasing sophistication actually makes it harder to explain why we suffer. Accidents and disasters have become technical problems without inherent purpose. When told of a disaster, we easily feel lost in the steely emptiness of technical languages of engineering or medicine. Or in our drive to pinpoint the source of suffering, we succumb to the hunt for a scapegoat, possibly inflicting even greater suffering on others around us.
How can we satisfactorily deal with suffering when the disaster that caused it is no more than the dispassionate sum of utterly mundane, imperfect human decisions and technical failures? Broad in its historical sweep and ambition, The End of Heaven is as rich as it is moving.
