Oil Peak? Uh-Oh

‘Uh-oh.” That was my persistent response as I read James Howard Kunstler’s new book, “The Long Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-first Century.”

I’m an old science-fiction fan, and I take perverse pleasure in a good, old-fashioned doomsday novel, from Ward Moore’s funny “Greener Than You Think” to George R. Stewart’s moving “Earth Abides.”

But Kunstler says his tome is no mere story: He believes we are barreling toward the end of civilization as we know it, and it’s probably too late to do much about it.
