A fascinating (if dystopian) future

I recently read two fascinating and compelling books by James Howard Kunstler that give a much darker and unsettling view of what the end of the fossil fuel era could mean.

One is nonfiction, called The Long Emergency. The other newer one is a novel called World Made By Hand.

Both basically depict the same scenario. So choose your preferred delivery method — fiction or nonfiction — for Kunstler’s dose of doom.

The Long Emergency lays out Kunstler’s predictions for the future. In a nutshell, humankind has managed in just over a century to burn through most of the finite supply of oil that it took nature and geology millions of years to create. Whether it’s ten years from now or a hundred years from now, the era of easily extractable oil will end
