I didn't really have any idea what it was except what it said on the cover but I quite quickly realised disappointed it's one of those suddenly ubiquities SHTF fantasies. But then it pulled off some really clever moves and the fact that it predicted Trump and his policies (OK, not exactly but still) in 2011 is just uncanny.
It's got this end of times preacher shouting feel to it and you can feel the author gloating over the destruction. That's really unhealthy.
It's also terrible writing and about as realistic as Mad Max (I know, I'm total sheeple, you are welcome to my cadaver) but also entertaining!
