I post here since the OT forum doesn't work.
I'm desperately looking for a novel (a three page article, more exactly) I've read some years ago. It was online and famous among peakoilers.
It was the story of the slow end of a civilization. The story of a woman, their daughters and nephews, how their way of life slowly went back, until in the end the last girl of the family walked away from the city in ruins not even knowing it was the definitive end of their civilization.

While I remember the plot, I can't find it on Google, maybe because my english is not so smart in guessing the right keywords.

Is there anyone remembering that novel? Can you give me a link?

Thanks a lot,
Barbara

That sounds like John Michael Greer.

Sorry, don't know the link, but his blog his here:

A similar themed novel, one of the best I've read is:
"Into The Forest" by Jean Hegland

Perhaps this?

"Christmas Eve 2050"

Thank you Leanan!

It was Greer, and not a "standalone" story but a paragraph of his famous The Long Road Down: Decline and the Deindustrial Future. Here. A true classic!
