förordet

»When you think of disasters, perhaps some secret part of you thrills at the idea of something happening, something interrupting the tedious routines that comprise existence for so many of us. You might not be ready to own up to actually desiring one, but a disaster would at least offer a chance to escape your cage and explore the unknown for a little while. What anguish, to live in longing for a reprieve from your own life, never knowing when or if it might come.

Or perhaps you cringe at the word, thinking of all the senseless tragedy and loss of life that real disasters entail. In that case, it may have already occurred to you that we are in the midst of the most terrible slow-motion disaster in history, as the natural environment is utterly laid to waste and the diversity of human experience is steamrolled into the monoculture of capitalism. In such a disaster, you can't cook out of the books your ancestors developed for more peaceful times.

Wether disaster is something you privately pine for or desperately hope to escape, one thing is for certain - the old recipes won't suffice anymore. We need recipes for disaster. Here they are.«

nope, and i can assure you reading 200k words on a computer screen would not be a pleasant experience.

if you really can't scrape up $12, i'd suggest this:

»hey xxx, it is a book, and books belong on paper. providing text files to you and or the world would be a disservice. the books has been been priced very, very cheaply, and is available in hundreds of libraries already.

the notion of someone reading more than 200,000 words on a computer screen with low-res graphics and photos is a travesty to all the hard work that went into that book.

sorry.

ps: you can send us $1 million if you want. we could do good things with that, but it won't get you a digital version of our book.«
