About this product

Product Information

Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. "I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes." So begins Neil Strauss's harrowing new book: his first full-length work since the international bestseller The Game, and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes-and now of world financial meltdown-Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game, The Dirt, and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It's a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid. It's one man's story of a dangerous world-and how to stay alive in it. Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. And you'll want to do everything it suggests. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee...

Incredibly small bottles for easy storage somewhere wherever you think you may need them. Instructions are on the bottle large enough for legibility and overall as described. Seller was prompt and quick with shipping and the only singular oddity is they arrived out of their pictured package (the cardboard panel and assuming plastic to keep it attached) but was still shipped quite safe and secure.

  • A nonfiction pseudo-survival-manual

    After informing us that his book is a distillation of eight years spent learning to “extract drinkable fluids from the ocean, deliver a baby, fly a plane, pick locks, hot-wire cars, build homes, set traps, evade bounty hunters” and so forth, he promises that when it all hits the fan, “you’re going to want to find me. And you’ll want to be doing whatever I’m doing.” This is a must read.

  • EMERGENCY: ESSENTIAL FOR THE REAL WORLD!

    NEIL STRAUSS IS A GREAT AUTHOR, ONE OF MY FAVORITES, THIS BOOK IS WELL WRITTEN AND WELL LAYED OUT AND EASY TO FOLLOW AND HIS BOOKS ARE CAPTIVATING. THIS BOOK HITS REAL TOPICS/ISSUES AND GET YOUR MIND THINKING ABOUT MANY THINGS IN WAYS THAT YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF BEFORE. ONE THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT MR. STRAUSS IS THAT IN ALL OF HIS BOOKS HE TALKS ABOUT NON-FICTION AND TELL TALES OF HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN SITUATIONS, WHICH HELPS THE READER GET A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT IS BEING SAID.

  • Practical

    Relevant advice in perilous times!

  • Love It

    This is the best book I have read in years. Neil you are the man! This book has mystery, suspense and real life drama that many red blooded Americans are feeling at this time. Neil we have the same sentiments, will see you in St. Kitts - we will give you the code "ATM" when we meet you so you know who we are :)
