Description
James Howard Kunstler writes both fiction and nonfiction about an untenable present and a somewhat bleak future. His fiction presents a near-term post-industrial America that has been stripped of its technological grandeur by dwindling energy supplies. Computers don't work, cars have no gas, most machinery, in fact, is rendered useless. Americans must learn to use horse and human muscle power again, as well as relearn the survival arts of our forebears. Kunster's nonfiction follows the same route, from criticism of rampant urban blight to the inevitable depletion of oil and gas. Start with: World Made by Hand (Fiction); The Long Emergency (Nonfiction)
