Slate has an interesting series going on, entitled "How Is America Going To End?", which – ironically enough – asks you, the typically uninformed and optimistic reader, to select five ways in which America itself will (or might) die. Will the country be wiped off the map by a supervolcano or an asteroid? Will political and social tension tear the US asunder? Or will the world just form one global alliance? 'Tis up to you. Be creative. =)
(Personally, I chose Supervolcano, Gray Goo, Megadrought, Rising Sea Levels ... and World Government. (Hey, can't be all death and chaos.)
