I too recently read the book"World Made by Hand" by Kunstler.  It was a fun 
read about a possible scenario of a post carbon world.  He brings up several 
possible problems, climate change and widespread diseases making certain 
crops difficult to grow is one example.  He also touches on some possible 
post apocalyptic scenarios. Religious wachos taking over is a common one. 
His view of a complete government breakdown seems a bit off the mark, 
governments will do anything to maintain power.

All in all a good book.  We will be facing problems as the oil runs out but 
it will be a slower decline than he proposes and draconian government 
measures can be expected.
