I wrote a book about the end of the world. It's funny. I promise.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets The Handmaid's Tale – for the climate generation.
Pack light. Be kind. Don't forget your towel.
Seven stops at the end of the world
This is the road Kevin hitches down. Scroll to follow him, one ridiculous stop at a time.
Stop 01 · Antarctica
Winter Wonderland
The last ski resort on Earth, run by a malfunctioning artificial intelligence called HAL. You will never forget the smell of penguins.
Guidebook warning: be nice to HAL, or sleep outside.
Stop 02 · The Amazon
South America
A zoo for dinosaurs in the rainforest. Feeding them is dangerous. The owners are worse.
Guidebook warning: do not pat the velociraptors.
Stop 03 · North America
Gilead
Strict rules, secret resistance, and a daring escape by swan-shaped paddle boat.
Guidebook warning: getaway swans are slower than they look.
Stop 04 · The high seas
The Boat
Sea sickness, whale attacks, and the world's least relaxing ocean crossing.
Guidebook warning: the whale is not waving. Row.
Stop 05 · Europe
The Elderly Union (EU)
Europe, rebranded. Safe, bureaucratic, and the perfect cover for smuggling music into a fascist regime.
Guidebook warning: bring a pen. Forms are in triplicate.
Stop 06 · North Africa
Africa
A music festival in Fez, contacts in Cairo, and the age of the pyramids putting everything into perspective.
Guidebook tip: music is power. Dance accordingly.
Stop 07 · Japan
Asia
A full-immersion anime park, a virtual-reality heist, and a farewell note that changes everything.
Guidebook warning: the game is real. Mostly.
Climate change is the road, not the lecture. The story is about hope, kindness and courage.
Favourite lines
It turns out the only thing that will survive the end of the world is cockroaches and toxic masculinity.
You showed me that you can be brave and kind at the same time. That to care about someone isn't a weakness.
A better world is always possible as long as we never give up.
I'm Kim. Scientist, dad, first-time author.
I've spent my career explaining science to people who didn't ask: geology to drilling crews, renewable energy to mushroom farmers. Turns out the trick is the same every time. Make it a good story, and make it funny. So that's what I did.
