A note from the author of When Technology Fails

Hi all,

I think you might be interest in this e-mail from Mat Stein.

Let me know how your reading circle progresses. I am especially interested in feedback from your group as to how to improve the 2nd, and future editions. My new publisher wants me to focus on updating the existing chapters ASAP for edition #2. We will consider adding chapters for subsequent editions. As I see it, my main focus on updates for this edition are: global climate change, peak oil, terrorism, latest updates in renewable energy, green building, and some more material for the health / low-tech healing chapter. Future chapters might be: full chapter on animal husbandry; a chapter on "Living Life Effectively: The Best of Time Management and Self-Help; Low Tech Transportation; Building Sustainable Communities.

Recommended favorite sources, materials and books are always appreciated.

All the best,
Mat
