i do think he is a visionary. and i've read enough about peak oil to know that he is NOT wrong on the science. the timing of some of his predictions may be off here & there, but pretty much everything he's talked about in his books is coming true now.
I found this to be a very hopeful book. After reading this and The Long Emergency back to back, I'm left with the certainty that I am still invested in the project of human civilization, regardless of impending hardship or potential devastation.
He doesn't write women well, but most male writers have trouble with that. The most prominent female character was a young character, which was a wise choice in that regard.
Read it!
Gives a good immpression of the Future-Maybe/Long Emergency. Granted when reading folks shouldn;t take in the whole Nuking part as "Going to Happen" as from what I can infer that really fast forwarded America into Depression-Emergency. If we can avoid that the Long Emergency at least could be stalled for a shot bit.
Arrr but I hate it how Suburbia sucks so much, I keep paying Gas and my Suburb is across town and over a highway from work.
Most geologists think that oil has peaked - and the figures say it is now in decline. Demand could be 1.5 times what it is now, there's enough people around for it.. so demand has now permanently outstripped supply.

It's a straw man argument, though. The reality is that oil will run out sooner or later and we will be living in a 3rd world civilization if we don't make a planned conversion to non-fossil fuel energy.
