Fictional Books That Could Happen

Amazon, apparently. Looks like I should start collecting books, holy cow.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this either.

That's actually a deal

What’s your reasoning?

I’ve seen it over $200 before. With the dust jacket, $80 is a decent price.
My copy doesn’t have the dust jacket and I think I paid $55

Jeez Louise! I had no idea ... I've got a pristine copy -- still have the paper cover, too.

Of course, there's asking and then there's getting, too. I think I bought my copy second hand for like $10 -15 bucks ...

Because everyone should have a hard copy, paperback and a Kindle version of this book

 

[gsarg]

The original price of the hard cover that I paid $275, for

But where can I find a copy?

I read it a few years ago free online; pretty sure it was here: https://billstclair.com/Unintended-Consequences.pdf

Had a few editing hiccups, but pretty good for the price!

I definitely appreciate hard copy books though. Some of the stuff I find interesting may not always be readily available...

I think I found mine at the Half Price Books online store. They have a national database of all the stores and they take PayPal

I’ve mentioned this book before but good reading on a snow bound day. One Second After by William Forstchen. While the book is based on an EMP destroying the power grid it seems our current electric, gas, and water systems are pretty weak as it is. West Texas windmills frozen, Draper Lake water supply down quite a while yesterday, natural gas demand high, and empty grocery shelves. Many of us dependent on the everyday conveniences would be in big trouble if these systems fail. Certainly gives one something to think about.

SWMBO spent much of her time reading it criticizing the many flaws in their responses to the event. We've been through a number of hurricanes and similar events. Plus a bit of "homesteading" on previously unimproved land while we were still young and on a limited budget. Also separated by an inconvenient remote tour that put me in Diyarbakir for a year...
