Abstract:
"Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war ... For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists, and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonald's than from being blown up by al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda?"--Amazon.com.
