You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. \r\n\r\n**I\u0027ve started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes.** So begins Neil Strauss\u0027s harrowing new book: his first full-length worksince the international bestseller The Game, and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. \r\n\r\nAfter the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes–and now of world financial meltdown–Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that\u0027s lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. \r\n\r\n
