We spent an evening in conversation with Matt Stein, Author of "When Technology Fails: A Manual For Self-Reliance, Sustainability, And Surviving The Long Emergency." We use his book as the course textbook for The UnCrash Course.

We covered a tremendous amount of ground! Some of the areas we looked at were:

  • why Matt wrote the book
  • what six major global trends Matt sees and how will they impact us
  • what our collective response would need to be to avoid the impacts of these trends
  • what's possible with our political system as our economy declines
  • how Matt is preparing
  • and more.
