Not much of a plot or character development, but it makes up for that with a strong description of what life might be like after most of the oil is gone.

What will arrive first? Peak Oil or the Second Coming? My money is now on the latter.

I enjoyed it too. At the same time, it was quite possibly the worst written book I've read in my life. Organized really poorly. Some weird idiosyncrasies, such as the foot-based philosophy. Someone needs an editor.

Nonetheless, it was a fascinating document as the first explicitly peak oil novel. I wonder if this will flourish as a sub-genre of sci-fi. I certainly hope so!
