An American Famine: A Rosetta Stone for the coming collapse

By Kurt Dahl

There are a thousand books out there that will tell you "how" to prepare for collapse - but this is the ONLY book that will tell you "what" to prepare FOR.An American Famine combines the realism of our most knowledgeable pundits on sustainability along with a vivid fictional descent into chaos and anarchy. It aims to be the Rosetta Stone for those people who are concerned about our future but are unsure about the outcome - it translates their vague fears into a clear and potent picture of the danger ahead. Spanning a twenty-year period from 2030 to 2050, An American Famine chronicles the collapse of our civilization with such chilling realism that the reader comes away with a severely altered view of our collective future. The full scope of this event is impossible to portray in a traditional narrative. Instead, An American Famine employs many voices, many viewpoints, and a collection of stories, in order to capture the long sweep of what looms. The book is divided into three parts: first, the pre-collapse downward spiral from 2030to 2040; then, the short-lived spasm of extreme violence in 2040; and finally, the continued chaos in the aftermath of the collapse. Our cultural mirror (the mass media) currently reflects the emergence of a growing apocalypse anxiety. From the doomsday preppers, to the loftier conversations of Charlie Rose, Ted Talks, and Tom Friedman, we now hear the timid beginnings of a warning that there may actually be a collapse of civilization in the not-too-distant future. An American Famine focuses these vague and timid warnings into a frightening and complete chronicle of this horrifying future. If you have ever wondered how we could get from where we are today, to a future violent collapse of our civilization - then read this book and you will find out.
