How would you survive society's collapse?The recent HN post about what would happen if all technology suddenly disappeared was interesting ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=526458 ), but I think a more pertinent question is how best to survive a catastrophic break down of public infrastructure and governance. Possible causes might be (civil) war, epidemic, or space weather ( http://alturl.com/eo5 ). Technology and knowledge aren't going to disappear, but the power grid is broken, materials and supplies aren't getting distributed, the Internet and wired telecommunication are gone (at least on a global scale), and governance has probably heavily suffered. What would you do? 7 comments
