GOLIATH'S CURSE The History and Future of Societal Collapse

Luke Kemp narrates his expansive audiobook about how some great societies have formed and evolved--only to eventually fall. His work is deeply researched with a critical eye toward what the public has been led to believe about human nature in a crisis. People may think they need to prepare for doomsday, but history has shown that when a society breaks down, people are far more able to work together for survival. Kemp provides helpful examples, ranging from the Iron Age to Rome to the present day, of how large-scale societies met challenges. Kemp's voice is quiet, breathy, and close to the microphone. Listeners will be reassured by this audiobook's heartening message. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
