Orlov is a very interesting character who's written a lot about societal collapse, having lived through the Soviet version. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Orlov_(writer))

I've read some of his books (The Five Stages of Collapse, e.g.) and there's a lot of food for thought.

He's now spending his time designing and building "unsinkable" houseboats.

His thinkpieces, which in the past were quite worthwhile, are now behind a paywall at
