Life as we know it is set to change irreversibly. The cause is a multitude of factors that by themselves are solvable, but together they are not. Chief among these challenges is climate change, which acts as an amplifying and synchronizing force.

The consequence is the collapse of modern civilization. It might be slow, it might be fast, but as I discussed in part 5, there’s little hope for avoiding a major reduction in quality of life for most people. What’s certain is that the best years are behind us.

One last question remains to be answered. What is one to do in the face of collapse?
