I don’t typically read fiction. No time.
However, when I saw James Howard Kunstler on The Colbert Report (it could have been The Daily Show) several months ago, I was intrigued by his book, World Made by Hand.
It’s a fictional portrayal of life after oil. And the potential wars that follow falling off of Hubbert’s Peak.
It was a great book, and I highly recommend it. I’ve now ordered The Long Emergency, the nonfiction book Kunstler wrote about the topic before World Made by Hand.
In the meantime, however, I may have to visit my father for some wordworking lessons. Somehow the World Made by Hand seems far more likely than I ever imagined.
I'm a cognitive scientist and communication scholar who manages a psychophysiology lab at Texas Tech. I teach courses about the cognitive processing of media messages and research methods.
