Description: Can you imagine what our lives would be like after we run short of vital fossil fuels? What would happen to our transportation, to the way we produce and distribute food, and to the many machines and gadgets we use? How would people, communities, and countries respond to shortages of energy? This book traces the possible consequences of a global event on this scale, with ideas and evidence based on similar scenarios that are a part of fact and fiction.
