About this ebook
How much do you weigh? Not you personally but all of us, yes every single one of us alive today. This ebook is a companion to the YouTube video of the same title that puts us and the rest of nature on the scales. No one has done this before--but though the story is novel--its actually the implications of the book about who we are and what our future is going to be that will grab you the most.
