Summary
Pablo Servigne, Raphael Stevens: How Everything Can Collapse
"It is not about the end of the world, nor about the apocalypse. It is not about an ordinary crisis that does not affect us, nor about specific disasters like a tsunami or a terrorist attack that are forgotten after a few months. Collapse is 'a process in which institutions authorized by law are unable [at a reasonable cost] to provide the majority of the population with basic necessities (water, food, shelter, clothing, energy, etc.)'. That is, therefore, an irreversible process like the end of the world! […] The book you are holding is not intended to cause fear. We are not dealing with astrophysical and tectonic phenomena that could trigger the mass extinction of the species experienced 65 million years ago. This book is not pessimistic, but it is not "positive" either. This is a book which tries to soberly highlight facts, ask important questions and collect tools that allow a different understanding of the subject than that presented in Hollywood movies, Mayan calendars or 'techno-bliss'." Pablo Servigne, Raphael Stevens
