About the book

In a single century we have evolved into a species for which oil is as essential as air or water. Oil has dominated every aspect of the last hundred years - but what will happen when it runs out? Within thirty years we will have burned our way through half the easily available oil. The author discuss how we will break the oil-addiction and what we will use in oil's place to maintain a global economy and political system that is dependent on cheap, readily available energy.
