The main themes are science, self sufficiency, and maximizing resilience as the best strategies to deal with future unknowns.

Extended description

Life changes in the first third of the twenty-first century. Of all the possible global disruptions, the two most likely have dramatically changed our world. Epidemic and climate change have caused great disruptions. Earth's Edge describes the changes and what we do to live as best we can

Some preparation for disruptive change is possible. The book portrays how a 'can do' attitude favors successful preparations. The story suggests that a sense of accomplishment can be emphasized and savored whenever preparations are established.

Scientists say that in the extreme distant future our sun will no longer sustain us. For humanity to survive we must leave this earth. In the twenty-first century, as our technology progresses and our understanding of genetics improves we see the opportunity for humanity to establish itself beyond the bounds seemly imposed by the laws of physics. There is another way for humanity to go to the stars.
