I still don't know what might happen in a couple of years' time. With the awareness that Terence McKenna was looking through a haze of narcotics and found that the I-Ching, more modern software and other ideas ''progress towards infinity and when any number of events that are currently unimaginable can be expected to occur'' in a blaze of cosmic randomness, like a certain Douglas Adams spacecraft engine - ALSO on December 21st, 2012!, I'm none the wiser. But I'm certainly more knowledgable through these pages about how inter-connected so much is.
This is looking at the ideas with a scientific head, and - despite the website based on the date and the subtitle being [http://www.2012sos.com net/ www.2012sos.net] (I ask you!) - it's a lot less judgmental than many other volumes. With a final spark to the writing, and a better defined journey through all the details, this book would readily have sold as many copies as all the doom-mongers. I'm fairly sure someone will be taking lots of royalties about the whole thing come 2013, however.
I must thank the publishers for our review copy.
The fictional side of this is covered in [[The Crystal Skull by Manda Scott]], for the adults, and in [[The Joshua Files: Ice Shock by M G Harris]] for the younger readers. If you dismiss this, find other ways to die in [[A is for Armageddon by Richard Horne]].
