Book Reviews of The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century
Book Review: Wake-Up To a New World Disorder
Summary: 5 Stars
The Long Emergency is one of the flagship books for the 'peak oil' prophets who argue that we are entering (have already entered) the dark world of declining oil production.From hereon in, they say we're going to witness hard times of rising oil prices and the subsequent - and cataclysmic - consequences which will entail.
The Long Emergency explores those consequences which could include global economic collapse, widespread starvation, suburban ghost towns, and resource wars.
This is not light-reading, but it is compelling and presents a dark vision of something which sounds all too probable, and imminent.
