One book that examines this scenario is "One Second After" by William Forstchen [0]. It involves a coordinated EMP attack over America and the effects on a small town in North Carolina. In the same vein as The Road but more detailed in how society devolves i.e. how people behave and what is valuable / scarce as the event progresses. It is not pretty but a fascinating read that will make you consider such a scenario and how you can better prepare.

- morganvachon 9y agoThat sounds almost exactly like Alas, Babylon but with an EMP instead of direct nuclear strikes.
- Raidion 9y ago'Alas, Babylon' was an amazing read as a teenager. Really opened up my eyes to the fact that war was actually a scary thing because it has the stark realism without the shock and horror that allows you to compartmentalize it. You start to realize that we do take a whole lot for granted in terms of simple needs.
