The Long Emergency
The Orion Magazine Online has a five part video series with James Howard Kunstler on The Long Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century. What's that mean exactly? From Orion:
A five-week video series exploring the past, the present, and the quite possibly chaotic future of the industrial period. Will Wal-Mart survive without ridiculously cheap oil? Will FEMA even be able to answer the phone in twenty years? De facto cultural historian James Howard Kunstler runs the numbers. (Get ready: We come up a bit short.)
The series is in five parts, and the first four area already available in both WindowsMedia V.8 or QuickTime V.6. Here is the list of titles for the five parts:
- Part 1: How the Hell Did We Get Here? (6:18)
- Part 2: Hubbert's Curve, and Other Inconvenient Facts (8:11)
- Part 3: Reagan's Short-Lived "Morning in America" (7:11)
- Part 4: The Twilight of Wal-Mart (and Everything Else That's Huge)
- And coming April 3rd, 2006
- Part 5: Keeping the Lights On
