An exhilarating journey through the most creative and catastrophic f**k ups in human history In the seventy thousand years that modern human beings have walked this earth, we've come a long way. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food chain, we're real winners. But, frankly, it's not exactly been plain sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we've managed to really, truly, quite unbelievably f**k things up. From Chairman Mao's Four Pests Campaign, to the sinking of the Titanic; from the American Dustbowl, to the world's leading superpower electing a reality TV mogul as President... it's pretty safe to say that, as a species, we haven't exactly grown wiser with age. So, next time you think you've really f**ked up, this book will remind you: it could be so much worse...

Tom Phillips is the editor of Full Fact,
Britain's leading independent fact-checking
organisation. Previously he was the editorial
director of BuzzFeed UK, where he divided his
time between very serious reporting on important
issues... and making jokes. Tom's first book, HUMANS: A Brief History of
How We F*cked It All Up, was published in 2018, and has since been translated into more than 20 languages.
