The Bronze Age Collapse

Set around 1200 BC, this book explores the dramatic collapse of the most interconnected world of its time, spanning regions from Mycenae to the Nile. It investigates the complex decline driven by multiple smaller shocks rather than a single catastrophic event, shedding light on how such societies unravel. Through human stories and archaeological insights, it also reflects on the lessons this ancient collapse offers for our modern, interconnected civilization.
