Review title: Everyone on the planet needs to read this...
Product review: A sorely needed wake-up call that is probably going to be too late, and which will likely remain unexamined by those who need to read it the most -- our so-called leaders. In the context of the subject, it is no surprise that the author would strongly disagree with the regressive environmental and energy policies of Bush administration. The violent actions of a waning empire, desparate to control energy resources, will merely postpone the inevitable collapse of industrial society, while doing nothing to make our future any more secure."Power Down" seems to be conciously written to be more accessible to the average reader than "The Party's Over", it covers a lot of the same ground but is probably easier for most people to absorb than Heinberg's first book. I hope for the world's sake that both are widely read.
