Full title: "The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age"

I've been reading this and I'm almost done. The main thesis is that peak oil is inescapable and that societies should adapt for a post-industrial age where many energy-based luxuries will no longer be an option.

It's an interesting read. He doesn't say much about energy breakthroughs in fusion which are seeing investment now. I'm not sure if the author has "already thought of it" and still sees the roundaboutness of our modern economies as the issue even in the presence of fusion energy.

I recommend this to anyone who's an energy-use maximialist (I know many Bitcoiners are), it's always good to challenge our views.
