We are used to living in an age when the end of the world is always just around the corner. Over the last 30 years, scientific research and media novelty have combined to make every scare feel like it could be the next end of the world. And it seems like, with each discovery that our existence is just as fragile as we feared, science has taken on the same doomsday appeal as old testament religion - while, increasingly, modern religions employs the logic and reason of science to convince non-believers they have the answers.
Dee Ryding's fascinating Time Shift explores how, from the 1970s New Ice Age, via global warming, nuclear winters, Sars and millennium bugs, we've successfully survived every predicted apocalypse, only to invent a new one to get worried about.
