It is a solid principle that the essence of drama is conflict.But , unfortunately for this novel, there is no conflict.this seems to be a how-to book for filling your basementwith dried food and toliet paper in case you wake up in themorning to some unexplained apocolypse.(no kidding. The book NEVER even really postulates on justwhat happened to shut down the grid world-wide)The author has 20 or so  people related to each otherand lving side-by side in cramped conditions...andEVERYBODY gets along just fine. Nobody even disagreeson what to make for dinner.Now THAT'S science fiction.
