Matthew Stein, author of When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long Emergency, sits down with the folks at Sustainability Television to talk about his book, which has been described as the bible of emergency preparedness and green and healthy living.
When I first wrote the book, it was pre-9/11 and pre-Hurricane Katrina. The world was a very different place….
