Purchase options and add-ons

An introduction to the economic, political and environmental mess the world is currently in; with insights into how we got here as well as how we might get out. (Some solutions are more painful than others.) Informative and even revelatory, but anyone who actually LIKES this book should have his head examined.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Connects the Dots on Collapse
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Author Jenna Orkin personally experienced government suppression of New York's health disaster after 9/11, and this led her to a deep look at a number of factors influencing the Collapse of Western Society. Debt is not disconnected from Resource Wars, which are not separate from Industrial Consumerism, which runs on Coal, which relates to Global Warming, which in turn relates to Wealth Depletion which exacerbates Resource Wars ... The value of this book is in its unification of several themes which affect each other, and produce steadily more damage to The System upon which we have come to depend. Knowing that the old System is doomed is a key step - but this book will open eyes as to the related whys and wherefores, and help readers to prepare - by knowing what to look for. A great introductory book on the subject of Collapse.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Clarity and Humor Free From Wishful Thinking
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Full disclosure: I have known and worked with Jenna Orkin for eight years on and off, sometimes closely, so I am not unbiased. But what makes this book so compelling is Orkin's uber-dry NY sense of humor and wit, coupled with a highly-educated and polished intellect that can be breathtaking in its clarity. Those who criticize from disconnected places and old, sacred-cow think are as credible to me as Ben Bernanke arguing that printing more debt will instantly provide all the natural resources we need on a finite planet, or Barack Obama assuring us all that the economic crisis is over... Or that fracking is safe... Or that nuclear power is clean... Or that climate change is a myth... Or that buying a Prius and composting you garbage is a courageous way to make a difference...

    Jenna Orkin not only gets it, she paints a clear, acerbic, witty and well-founded "postcard from the edge" of the world we live in today. I'd label this book as a bucket of humorous cold water in your face that might be good prep for the days when that's all you'll have to bathe with. But then again there's a lot of people in New York and NJ living on a new coastline who still haven't got even that back after Hurricane Sandy. There are also people in Europe waiting for the Euro to make sense and in China who are eager to see a blue sky again. If all of this is new to you, this is a great place to start in a short, easy, very- entertaining read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, Must read!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2012

    This book will layout the basics on what is happening in our world today.
    If your new to this sort of thinking it's a good place to start.
    It will help pull the wool from your eyes and let you start seeing how messed up things are getting, and were we are headed.
    People like Jenna Okrin and Micheal Rupert should be hoisted up as heros in our world today.
    I tell as many people as I can about this book as well as Micheal Ruperts books and videos and the web site [...]
    The more people we can get to wake up to the Realities we are facing, the better chance we have of making it through togeather.
    After reading this book and Ruperts books you will have a new way of watching world events and seeing them for what they truly are. You will start to wonder how everybody around you is missing the obvious clues and meanings in current events, and not just blindly buy into what is shoved down our throats everyday by the media.
    It's time we all wake up!!!

    1.0 out of 5 stars I was the moron for buying this book.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The author is a 9/11 truther and the book is filled with 9/11 rants against the government and how they are lying to us about everything. When I ordered the book from Amazon, I thought it was about the coming global collapse. Boy was I wrong. Though it contains a few essays on peak oil it is mostly one long rant about 9/11 and other supposed government conspiracies like the Kennedy assassination.

    Basically the book is a long rant against the US Government and how they are lying to us about everything. That was definitely not what I expected when I bought a book with "global collapse" in the title.

    I rated it 4-star because it seemed not as well-organized and coherent as I had hoped. But it was VERY interesting and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the true stories behind the sanitized stories from today's media outlets.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Moron's Guide
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Morons should try something easier to read. I found this book difficult to read as the language used was fairly complex. I enjoyed it none the less just found it a harder read than the title suggested. maybe if I had read more from the Collapse community I would understand the style of writing a bit better. The web links at the end where particularly usefull. The main part of the book, which I felt had value, is near the end. I follow climate change and peak oil with the 'Collapse' info being new to me (i.e. the CIA and drugs and the 9/11, london bombing, bali, etc. Its allot to take in!

    2.0 out of 5 stars I was really disappointed by this book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was really disappointed by this book. The first chapter or so was a brilliant explanation of what 30 years of neoliberalism have done to our world and our society, and why. I guess I expected a similarly sharp and well-argued expansion on those themes. Instead it slipped into a morass of anecdote & conspiracy theory. Felt like a waste of a promising start
