The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler
Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes
A contrarian, urgent critique of industrial society that argues modern civilization faces a prolonged period of decline driven by dwindling cheap energy (especially oil), ecological strain, and economic instability; it warns that car-dependent suburbs and globalized supply chains are unsustainable and advocates relocalizing economies, rebuilding community-scale agriculture and infrastructure, and preparing for a long, difficult transition to lower-energy, more resilient ways of living.
