Out of print 1986 book, and needed more than ever today. Better than any peak-oil book you can think of as he wrote it at the peak of Nukes in '86 - and we never ran out. Oh look, the world is still filled with nuclear weapons.
Nigel Calder doesn't preach in this book. He just writes about what could be. Genetic plant farms; maybe he says. Just Green Revolution from the view of 1980s. Organic villages covered with square-mile greenhouse covers to protect from the the radioactive fallout? Perhaps. We'll see, right?
Whatever your taste in perfect futures Nigel Calder covers the required technology needed to make it come true.
