‘I’ve started to look at the world through apocalypse eye.’ So begins Neil Strauss’s harrowing brand-new publication: his 1st full-length work because the international bestseller THE OVERALL GAME, and perhaps one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the entire year.

Following the last couple of years about Emergency of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes-and now of world financial meltdown-Strauss, like the majority of of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in the us, anything can happen. But instead than view helplessly, he decided to do something about it. Therefore he spent 3 years vacationing through a country that’s lost its feeling of safety, equipping himself with the various tools necessary to conserve himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future.

Using the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game, The Dirt, and Steps to make Love Such as a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil’s white-knuckled journey through today’s heart of darkness, as he sets out to go his life offshore, test his skills in the open, 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 harmful cult market leaders, of billionaire weapon nut products and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and regular citizens going from the grid.

It’s one man’s story of the dangerous world-and how exactly to stay alive in it.
