Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Brain fog can be scary. It might appear innocently, like losing your car keys or forgetting what date you scheduled that appointment on. Some of this memory loss is normal—it’s just a natural side effect of your brain healthily aging.

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid 10 to 15 kilometers (6 to 9 miles) wide struck the Earth, ultimately ending the dinosaurs’ reign as the biggest, baddest life-form on the planet. The mass extinction occurred in a time so far from our own that it practically feels like a separate world, rather than just an earlier chapter. But in the grand scheme of the cosmos, that incomprehensible stretch is merely a blink. So, by that standard, could a similar fate await humanity in the not-so-distant
