Practical Guide for the Apocalypse

Is it really true? Has the end of days come? Due to epidemics, climate disasters, and nuclear threats — not to mention the ever-increasing background noise of rage, fear, and anxiety — it starts to seem like the party we... call civilization is about to end. On one hand, the news is not great. On the other, this has happened before.
Drawing on evolutionary psychology, history, brain science, game theory, and much more, cooperation theorist (and coincidentally, zombie expert) Athena Aktipis optimistically explains that we, as a species, are adapted to survive during global catastrophes and can pull it off time and again using our innate skills of communication and mutual aid.
Put a ukulele in your anxiety backpack. Practice your risk management skills. Form a survival team. And come to terms with the fact that the apocalypse will come. You might even enjoy it. Moreover, all of this will help shape a better and more resilient future for all humanity.
