Depois de anos de sucesso crescente, David JP Phillips entrou em depressão. Meteu-se na cama. Passou o verão a chorar. Um dia, quando passeava com a mulher numa paisagem bucólica, sentiu-se profundamente feliz. Foi um sentimento efémero, mas forte o suficiente para o lançar numa procura desenfreada por respostas.

Cada vez mais casais não conseguem ter filhos ou lutam para conseguir tê-los. A fertilidade está em declínio em todo o mundo. O que até nos pode fazer pensar que está tudo bem, por já sermos muitos a habitar a Terra, mas o problema é que homens com esperma pobre também têm vidas mais curtas e sofrem mais doenças e problemas de saúde do que os homens com esperma saudável. É um problema que não afeta apenas os casais diretamente, mas sim, de uma forma ou outra, todas as pessoas, uma vez que a mesma tendência foi detetada em peixes, anfíbios, insetos, aves, répteis e mamíferos. Qual será a causa desse declínio na reprodutividade? Haverá alguma coisa que possamos fazer para reverter esta tendência? Ou poderá este fenómeno pura e simplesmente causar a extinção da humanidade e de outras formas de vida? Neste livro pejado de factos inéditos e terrivelmente oportuno, Niels Christian Geelmuyden destaca as pesquisas atuais sobre o tema. É um livro que nos interessa a todos: a si, aos seus filhos e aos seus netos, coisa que poucos livros podem reivindicar — a importância de alertar diferentes gerações para um mesmo problema.
