The peak of oil production and consumption has been reached, its reserves are being depleted literally before our eyes, and alternative energy sources still remain the bright dream of mankind. What will happen when oil reserves on Earth run out completely? James Howard Kunstler argues that new Dark Ages will come, and convincingly proves his point. In the US and Europe, his book has already become a bestseller, only will it make the society of endless consumption think and change their fate? The author himself believes that no. His forecast is doomed to come true.
