In Yannick Monget’s new book, The World Tomorrow, the author forces us to ask a difficult question; “What If?” What if global warming can’t be reversed in time? What if the polar ice caps do melt? And what if we are forced to leave our homes and the places we love (i.e. Paris) in order to survive a great flood? What would happen to our cities, our landmarks, our lives as we know them?

This computer-generated glimpse into the future may seem like another chapter in a string of science fiction books by the author, but the difference here is that fiction could become a reality if the people of the world don’t step up and make some big changes.

“Using the most up-to-date, most sophisticated technical photographic effects, here, for the first time, is a mind-numbing, awesomely stunning re-creation of six scenarios,” state the publishers. “What is the possible future of our planet? Rising oceans, a new glacial era, the “sixth extinction,” lands of fire, a human revolution?”

Through a series of startling, yet breathtaking images, Monget uses an approach unlike any other before him. He takes the information and puts them into a highly visual context that makes the reader take notice as he guides your through 156 pages illustrating what could happen if things don’t change.

The cover shot alone, which features an Eiffel Tower in ruins splashed against a background of patina-colored clouds billowing up from the abandoned streets of Paris, is enough to make those suspicious of global warming run out to their local Home Depot to pickup a case of energy saving light bulbs. And if you think there is no way these events, as shown in the book, could happen, just listen to what scientists around the world have been saying for decades. The threat of global warming is more prevalent now that ever before, and unless we do something fast we may not be here to see the world tomorrow.

Monget, who lives in France, is the founder of L’Ankaa Group, which conceives and develops ambitious projects for the protection of the environment throughout Europe. For more information on his book and organization, visit www.yannickmonget.com.
