Summary, etc ‘A wonderful book… Delightfully varied… As with all the best science writing, this book doesn’t just give answers, it also asks interesting questions.’ Daily Mail<br/>‘Captivating and intelligent! Who knew death could be this much fun?’ Richard Osman<br/>Asteroids, killer sharks, nuclear bombs, viruses, deadly robots, climate change, the apocalypse – why is Hollywood so obsessed with death and the end of the world? And how seriously should we take the dystopian visions of our favourite films?<br/>With wit, intelligence and irreverence, Rick Edwards and Dr Michael Brooks explore the science of death and mass destruction through some of our best-loved Hollywood blockbusters. From Armageddon and Dr Strangelove to The Terminator and Contagion, they investigate everything from astrophysics to AI, with hilarious and captivating consequences.<br/>Packed with illustrations, fascinating facts and numerous spoilers, Hollywood Wants to Kill You is the perfect way into the science of our inevitable demise.<br/><br/>Source: https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/hollywood-wants-to-kill-you/
