Preventing global disasters and preparing for the global and local disaster we can’t prevent.
Fuzed Trilogy is a fiction series highlighting the top three global disasters facing humanity, but with an advisory board of experts, it provides real-world solutions. It’s currently under development as a TV mini-series titled Impact.
Disaster Prepping for Dummies provides the strategies required to prepare for and survive global, local and even personal disasters.
HUMANITY VERSUS NATURE: Scientists recently used declassified data from the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty’s monitoring system to recalculate the asteroid/comet impact rate. Turns out impacts big enough to obliterate a city or continent may be 10 times more likely than we thought. Surprisingly, two of the top potentially apocalyptic natural disasters facing humanity, asteroid impacts and solar superstorms are preventable or can be successfully mitigated… if we act.
HUMANITY VERSUS OUR CREATIONS: Computer processing power and Artificial Intelligence are doubling every two years. Global competition and construction of huge AI data centers is accelerating. With plans to tap the unused processing power in millions of EVs and billions of smartphones, AI super intelligence may be only a couple years away. Add plans for solar powered AI data centers in orbit along with millions of humanoid robots now in production … we have a plot right out of an apocalyptic science fiction movie.
HUMANITY VERSUS HUMANITY: Nuclear warfare remains a risk and biological threats are increasing due to the growing availability of biotechnology tools that allow even small labs to edit DNA. Add to this, micro-drones, facial recognition, RFID tags and global surveillance technology, and the ability to monitor, track and influence everything we do has never been greater. George Orwell’s apocalyptic movie 1984 never imagined a world where your beliefs and even your genome can be manipulated.
Americans who prepare for disasters doubled to 20 million since 2017 and they include people from all walks of life. Preparation reduces dependence on municipal resources, which also reduces environmental impact, bringing together people with very different political views but who share a common goal.
Most disaster preparation books and podcasts assume the permanent collapse of civilization and promote a rural fortress retreat with a Rambo aresenal. If civilization ends, that may be the only path but most people don’t have the resources, time or level of OCD required. This book focuses on surviving disasters from storms to AI, with simple, practical steps for those of us who aren’t ready to remodel that abandoned missile silo.
