Quote "I presume outside of the hero's herculean effort to save something of modern civilization. The story is based around how you think a financial collapse might occur."

I think my focus was more on the pattern that social disruption would contribute to the collapse, which I guess means how a financial collapse would occur. He also wanted to save knowledge because like in the years prior to the dark ages starting about 1000 AD, a great deal of knowledge which existed then had to be reinvented in the 1500's. We have much better ways of preserving knowledge now. (Not that I think anyone with digital information will save that knowledge for 500 years.)
