"The World Without Us"
What would the earth look like if humans suddenly disappeared? An audacious new book imagines a people-free planet, and restores our sense of awe.
By Gary Kamiya [2007-07-23]

  • A Smart Kid, by Porcupine Tree

    Stranded here on planet earth

    It's not much but it could be worse

    Everything's free here, there's no crowds

    Winter lasted five long years

    No sun will come again I fear

    Chemical harvest was sown

    And I will wait for you

    Until the sky is blue

    And I will wait for you

    What else can I do?

    A spaceship from another star

    They ask me where all the people are

    What can I tell them?

    I tell them I'm the only one

    There was a war but I must have won

    Please take me with you.
