Collapse Now and Avoid The Rush, by John Michael Greer

from $30.00

The Best of the Archdruid Report

Thanks to our reliance — and addiction — to petroleum, industrial civilization is collapsing. But rather than the sudden mass calamity imagined by Hollywood films and prophets of doom, it’s a “long descent,” a series of systemic catastrophes which we can no longer prevent.

What can we do in such a time? With wit, kindness, and an astounding understanding of history and political forces, John Michael Greer suggests, “collapse now, and avoid the rush.”

Collapse Now and Avoid the Rush collects thirty one of Greer’s best essays from the wildly popular Archdruid Report, each even more timely than when they were first written and selected to give readers a practical understanding of humanity’s situation and what can be really done.

Available both as hardcover (digital cloth with dust jacket) and softcover (perfectbound), each printed on a heavier, archival-quality paper.
