Reviews
Kunstler, author of 19 previous works, including The World Made by Hand series of speculative post-collapse novels in which he ingeniously imagines a what-if future US, is a master storyteller whether he's writing fiction or nonfiction . . . Kunstler chronicles the issues and all that's at stake with journalistic skill and energy. --Booklist You won't find a better, more concise summary of what's really happening, the predicaments we face, and real-life examples of how ordinary people are responding. Optimism for the future begins with the awareness that things cannot continue as they have been. This book jumps that hurdle, and explores the past, the present, and the future in a way that is ultimately and surprisingly optimistic. --Chris Martenson, author of The Crash Course and blogger at Peakprosperity.com Kunstler possesses the alchemy of describing a comprehensive disaster with a light touch. This is that rare, book on the future that is entertaining to the last page. The impression is that, along with the troubles, a more pleasant way to live will gradually emerge. --Andres Duany, author of Suburban Nation
