No Customer Reviews
The classic, comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills--from food and water to shelter and energy to first aid and crisis-management skills--fully revised and updated for 2026 and beyond Matthew Stein's When Technology Fails prepares you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other book, Stein not only shows you how to live green in seemingly stable times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or environmental catastrophe. When Technology Fails covers the gamut:
The basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or business
How to find and sterilize water in the face of utility failure
How to keep warm if you've been left temporarily homeless
Practical information for dealing with water-quality issues
Alternative health and first-aid techniques
Each chapter describes skills for self-reliance in good times and bad. Chapters include:
A survey of the risks to the status quo
Supplies and preparation for short- and long-term emergencies
Emergency measures for survival
Prepping water, food, shelter, and clothing
First aid, low-tech medicine, and healing
Securing energy, heat, and power
Metalworking
Utensils and storage
Low-tech chemistry engineering, machines, and materials
