Thoroughly enjoyed reading it in one night. A very exciting and prophetic story.

Not a financial expert, but understand that money is the lubricant that allows the trade of goods and services. And currently our fiat money (the whole world for the matter) is sick and getting sicker. There are quite a few ways that a financial collapse could go down. And once the money is gone. Modern society comes to a grinding halt.

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.

Not that anyone will know for sure until it happens. But I've been saying for a few years. When there's a bank holiday. That will be it. ATM's will stop working. It will be cash and carry until the grocery stores are emptied. And they won't get refilled when most of the truckers are stranded all over the country with useless gas cards. Those still with fuel will head home. No manner of trying to prime the machine is going to get it going from a stop. What we have now has evolved and grown into the complex thing it is.

I guess I'm saying there'd be a deeper collapse initially then followed by a continuous deterioration. But that might not allow time for the plot to happen.

I was a little disappointed that our team didn't consider holistic types of medicines. Going only for Pharma, which has it's issues. And unless I missed it, there wasn't mention of a printing press. The ability to disseminate information to the masses after hitting bottom. Information on restarting a new society and maybe set the stage for a better type of government.

Wish you the best. Keep Prepping, I am.
