Beyond the Sixth Extinction: A Post-Apocalyptic Pop-Up

Beyond the Sixth Extinction: A Post-Apocalyptic Pop-Up

Elaborate pop-ups feature some wonderfully creepy creatures that just might dominate the ecosystem and be essential to our planetâ€™s survival in an eerily realistic future world.

Whether or not we know it, the sixth global extinction is already under way, propelled not by a meteor but by human activity on Earth. Take a long step forward into the year 4847 with the help of stunning pop-ups portraying eight fantastical creatures, along with spreads and flaps presenting details about each one. Paper engineer Shawn Sheehy envisions the aftermath of extinction as a flourishing ecosystem centered around fictional creatures that could evolve from existing organisms. Promising high appeal for science-fiction fans of all ages â€” and plenty of food for discussion â€” this evolutionary extravaganza offers a time line of the six extinction events in Earthâ€™s history, a â€œfield guideâ€ to each creature, a diagram of species relationships, a habitat map of the (imagined) ruins of Chicago, and an illuminating authorâ€™s note.
