Like the bastard offspring of Jared Diamond and Hunter Thompson.

G. points me to this apocalyptic diatribe in Clusterfuck Nation. Well, maybe it's apocalyptic only if you like to drive everywhere. "History doesn't care if we sleepwalk into a clusterfuck. Plenty of other societies have before us." Read it if you liked Jared Diamond's latest, but you didn't think he was sufficiently excitable. More of Kunstler's stuff here, if that moves you.

Comments:
I get the Thompson, but that post wasn't very Guns-Germs-and-Steely to my mind. I guess you're talking a facet of Diamond I don't know--I haven't read whatever is his latest book.
