In her book ''The America Syndrome: Apocalypse, War, and Our Call to Greatness'', Hartmann is again critical of the organization, noting that as the year 2000 millennium approached, the company launched a campaign that tried to link the birth of the world’s six billionth child to the coming Y2K global computer crash, a disaster that never materialized.<ref>{{cite book | last=Hartmann | first=Betsy | title=The America Syndrome | publisher=National Geographic Books | publication-place=New York; Oakland; London | date=2017-05-23 | isbn=1-60980-740-5 | page=}}</ref>
