Sounds like a powerful trifecta of books. Dark Age Ahead sounds really intriguing, Iāll check it out. Civilization is a hungry machine that requires constant growth and Iām worried we wonāt make it through the current technological plateau, but as you say optimism is certainly a better tool to get us there than pessimistically believing we canāt. Iāve been enjoying reading your posts.
The introduction is great. Jacobs certainly has her beatāemphasis on the destruction of civil society by highways and [bad] centralized city planningābut there's a lot to consider. It's a short book, some chapters are more interesting than others. Always fun to see how people have been ringing the warning bell for decades...
