What would it really take for humanity to survive an extinction-level threat? This book examines that question with realism, clarity, and scientific grounding. Rather than relying on dramatic storytelling or speculative fiction, Saving Earth explores the real forces that could threaten human survival and the practical limits of our ability to respond. It looks at global risks through the lens of science, systems thinking, and human behavior, focusing on what preparation actually means in the real world. Inside this book, readers will gain a clear understanding of: - The major categories of extinction-level threats, from environmental and biological risks to technological and cosmic events - What science can and cannot realistically accomplish under extreme time pressure - Why space is often misunderstood as a solution, and what role it can genuinely play - How human biology, psychology, and resource limits shape survival outcomes - Why cooperation and trust matter more than individual brilliance - What governments, institutions, and societies should be doing now, before crisis arrives This book does not predict disaster. It does not promise easy solutions. Instead, it offers a grounded examination of risk, preparedness, and resilience, written for readers who want facts rather than fear. Saving Earth is designed for curious general readers, students, and anyone interested in understanding global risk, survival science, and long-term human resilience in a rapidly changing world. Clear, informative, and practical, this book invites readers to think seriously about the future and the choices that shape it.
