Wasteland By Wednesday: An Introduction To The Collapse Of Civilization, Coming "Faster Than Expected" To A Neighborhood Near You.
The Collapse Of Civilization
The Earth is hurtling even “faster than expected” towards a total ecological and societal collapse. And civilization itself seems intent on driving us over that edge.
Wasteland by Wednesday is a devastating but entirely realistic picture of what will happen to the world in the very near future. What we face is nothing short of complete societal breakdown mere years and decades from now, if we continue to follow the course of “business as usual” that we are on. Breaking free of that path seems more and more unlikely with every passing day, and the truth is we may have already passed the point of no return.
Climate catastrophe, rampant pollution, environmental damages, loss of social and cultural cohesion, and political disintegration, all of those were factors in the demise of civilizations around the world before. Add to this the ongoing conflicts and the looming specter of nuclear war we face now… As bad as all of that is we are facing so much more, and the perfect storm that is brewing will lead us right into total societal collapse, if not outright extinction of humanity.
This urgent warning attempts to pull the wool off as many eyes as possible in the world, to dash the false hopes, the greenwashing campaigns, the techno-hopium media narratives, as well as the governmental watering-down of science in favor of economic wish fulfillment. There is no political stance taken here. No good guys or bad guys, no right or left wings. This is not a scientific text, nor an economic or political one.
There comes a point in everyone’s awareness of the crisis we face as a species where a person must realize that there are no “sides” to take here. Which side you are on is irrelevant. There is survival, or not. That is all. And that is the point this work hopes to bring you to. Written for the layperson, this is a simplified introduction to the complex problems facing the world today, and their inevitable outcome. Call it a doomer manifesto, even call it “Collapse for Dummies” if you will. But read it, do your own research on the path, and see where it leads you.

Actually very informative about the potential for collapse. An interesting take that I have not seen elsewhere, especially as it brings together many risk factors and explains how they all work upon each other. Great work, well worth the read.

Badly needs a reference section, otherwise it isn't nearly scientific enough to be taken seriously. If you make claims, show the evidence.

I mostly agree with the author, but this book could have used a little more editing.
