想象一下，就在某个平凡且毫无征兆的一天，世界上各个角落的人们各自按照既定的生活模式行止，突然之间，一股神秘的力量将人类从这刻蓝色的星球上移去。接下来会发生什么？闹市区无人驾驶的车辆相互碰撞，引发巨大的交通事故和火灾；天空上的飞机脱离控制，一架架地撞向大地；核电站逼近安全 指数，引发前所未有的大灾难。可是这远远不是世界末日的到来，100年、200年、500年……人类赖以自豪的文明象征接连垮塌，摩天大楼、跨海桥梁饱受风霜侵蚀，相继崩溃坏灭。绿色的植物和野生动物“侵蚀”人类的家园，成为人类离开后新的主人。 　　人类消失也许对文明是个灾难，但对这颗已存在46亿年的星球来说，实在不是什么大不了的事情……Visit the ghostly villages surrounding Chernobyl (abandoned by humans after the 1986 nuclear disaster), travel to remote islands off the coast of Maine to search for abandoned towns that have vanished from view in only a few decades, then head beneath the streets of New York to see how subway tunnels may become watery canals. A visual journey, LIFE AFTER PEOPLE is a thought provoking adventure that combines movie-quality visual effects with insights from experts in the fields of engineering, botany, ecology, biology, geology, climatology, and archeology to demonstrate how the very landscape of our planet will change in our absence.
