COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Not much new submitted by mowjac on September 15, 2020, 11:54am If you're familiar with Kunstler's work, there isn't much new here: the first part is a review of the the Long Emergency, the middle is interviews with individual adapters, at least three of whom are blog readers, and the final is him repeating what he has said before. Written before coronavirus and BLM, which makes apparent Kunstler's white male solitary view out of step with community building, collaboration and new societal models arising.
