I got turned on to Dmitry Orlov by a friend. I read an article he wrote here. I found it fantastically written, pure, honesty, and a little gritty. Orlov presents the state of current affairs and how that is shaping our future. He also give some good advice on how to prepare for that future.
Certainly it is a point of view not shared by everyone. But after reading his article I decided to read his book “Reinventing Collapse”
It’s a rather simple concept. He lived through the break up of the U.S.S.R. In the book he compares different parts of society and culture in the U.S.S.R. to America today and makes some amazing insights. In Many cases we believe America can not fall apart, but the same feeling was true in the U.S.S.R.
Orlov goes over ideas like transportation, education, money, food, housing, family … etc… how each of these things were effect in the U.S.S.R. and what they might look like if the U.S.A. collapses.
It’s one of those books were if you have never thought about the idea of living in a collapsed nation, this will open your eyes and get your brain moving.
