My thoughts - not a "review."
I've been reading this guy's blog, Clusterf%$* Nation, for a long time, and I've been thinking about peak oil since the early 90s. I indulged my Malthusian wallow tendencies and read this book. Scary as hell. Still working through what to think/do about it. Whether or not the transition from oil to whatever comes next will be as rocky as he believes, I do agree that a lot of the lifestyle choices most of us (Americans) have made are pretty unsustainable.
