Eyesore of the Month by James Howard Kunstler
september 2008 by mjb
I tend to admire Kunstler in many ways, but mixed with his apparent knowledge and wisdom is some old-fashioned stuffiness. Much of his analysis might be confused with him just being an old crank, but careful inspection shows it is usually well-informed and obviously driven by a desire for functional communities and a love of participatory democracy. But not this one. I questioned a few of his assumptions as to how the world might turn out/revert after a massive catatrophe in his novel "World Made By Hand."
