A lighthearted look at 50 of the grandest predictions the world has seen - and how they were proved to be spectacularly wrong. The book asks why we are still here, given that the end of the world has been foretold over 200 times, including for 1833 by William Miller, who claimed to be in direct contact with God, and for 1997 by Nostradamus, king of the poor prediction.
