This was an entertaining read. Written by an author who interviewed scientists.

I’m Alanna Mitchell, I write about the harrowing consequences of the eventual switching of the magnetic North and South poles. AMA!

My short bio: Hi everyone – I’m a science journalist and author of my latest book (now on sale), The Spinning Magnet: The Electromagnetic Force That Created The Modern World – And Could Destroy It (https://www.amazon.com/Spinning-Magnet-Electromagnetic-Created-World/dp/110198516X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517410002&sr=8-1&keywords=spinning+magnet ), and Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis, which won the Grantham Prize for excellence in environmental journalism. I have written for The New York Times Science section and am a contributor to CBC Radio’s Quirks & Quarks. In The Spinning Magnet, I write about the eventual switching of the magnetic North Pole with the South Pole, and the consequences of this. Satellite evidence suggests to some scientists that the move has already begun, but most still think it won’t happen for many decades. All agree that it has happened many times before and will happen again. But this time it will be different. It will be a very bad day for modern civilization. When the poles switch, a process that takes many years, Earth is unprotected from solar radiation storms that would, among other things, wipe out all electromagnetic technology. No satellites, no Internet, no smartphones–maybe no power grid at all! I’m here to answer your questions, AMA!
