Discover the book Doom by Niall Ferguson

Doom is a nonfiction book by historian and publicist Niall Ferguson that addresses the topic of disasters, crises, and their impacts on society. Instead of fiction or a game narrative, it offers a perspective on how major turning-point events unfold, how people and institutions respond to them, and which factors can contribute to their escalation.

The book connects historical contexts with reflections on the functioning of the modern world and the risks that can turn seemingly minor problems into large-scale crises. Doom is suitable for readers interested in the humanities, modern history, social processes, and critical thinking about why some events take on catastrophic proportions.
