He makes no mention of World War Z!!!
How can you have an apocalypse without zombies?
It's like throwing a key-party without viagara!
I will have to read this book, and see if the author mentions zombies.
If it doesn't, try to rescue a copy of The "Zombie Survival Guide" from the smoking remains of your library too.
I would also save "How to Survive a robot uprising", just in case.
Editing was a little off-putting but very funny content, glad I wasn't ADD enough to skip it after the first bad edit.
John Oliver is one of The Daily Show's greatest finds. This isn't one of his best, but he's still a delight.
...And then there's Warday a "Charles Kuralt On The Road after WWIII novel written by Jim Kunekta and Whitley Strieber, before Strieber got sodomized by aliens and went nuts. Damn compelling read about the US after a limited nuke exchange. Supposed to have been a sequel where the two go and show us what happened to a Europe that wound up being too chickenshit to stick to their treaties to back up the US and remained neutral, but again Strieber went whackjob and reportedly Kunetka won't even answer his calls because all he talks about is getting date raped by Zeta Reticulans.
#3: agreed.
and the bugle (his podcast with a. zaltzman) ain't bad either.
I think I'm going to legally change my name to "Pimp of Babylon".
Lame.
It is actually a well written and performed little lecture. But the hat and smoking jacket should be burned.
