For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may

paid much attention to the future, which is a
little ironic since we may not have one - Arthur
C. Clarke the collapse will be strongly
correlated with an epidemic of permanent
blackouts of high-voltage electric power networks
world wide. When the electricity goes out, you
are back in the Dark Age. And the Stone Age is
just around the corner - Richard Duncan Deal
