New Yorker Article "The Dystopians" is a great read

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

It's worth buying the magazine for. (I subscribe). This is a link that will give a taste, but unfortunately, I think you may have to subscribe to the site or the magazine to get the complete article. (Maybe you just have to register, I'm not sure)

Anyway, if you are an aficionado of doom and gloom, black swans, financial collapse, peak oil, Wall Street, urban and suburban survivalism, societal collapse, gold futures, boat living, etc.etc. - This is the article for you!

Extremely well-written and entertaining (believe it or not, given the topics)

1. What a letdown - it said "Content not found"

And I live 35 miles from anywhere I could buy this magazine.
