Powerdown by Heinberg

http://www.richardheinberg.com/Powerdown.html

A reveiw: "Last night I was up reading to 4 am. Powerdown is a brilliant analysis of the options available to a civilization facing resource depletion, biosphere collapse, and financial insolvency. Differentiating his book from the slew of peak oil books that have recently appeared on shelves, he makes a cogent, impassioned proposal for a strategy of self limitation, sharing, and cooperation while preparing for the possibility of collapse. I file Powerdown in the must read category for the "walking worried" - that is, anyone concerned about what is happening and wondering what can be done to avert worst case scenarios."
