Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | 2008 post-apocalyptic novel by James Howard Kuntsler, depicting a future (probably at least the 2020's, quite possibly further) in which American civilization as we knew it was destroyed by a long, drawn out combination of factors. There were nuclear terrorist attacks in Los Angeles (which caused trade to slow to a near halt as international cargo was painstakingly inspected in the following months) and Washington D.C. (which destroyed most of the government at once), political unrest, disease pandemics, and most uniquely, a complete end to oil, gas, and other such fossil fuels. This is the key focus of the book, since Kuntsler believes in peak oil...in fact, the novel is basically a fictional look at life in the future Kuntsler posited in his eariler non-fiction book The Long Emergency. Needless to say, without fossil fuels, life regresses back to a pre-Industrial Revolution sort of state, with rural farmers actually being far better off than suburbanites or city dwellers. |
