“Rember’s sometimes dark, sometimes humorous book of reflections dispenses hard-earned wisdom on a world in crisis.”—Publishers Weekly
“A brilliantly written, deeply thoughtful, and even humorous book about a very dark topic. I hope civilization will last long enough for it to be published for all to enjoy and contemplate.”—Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb
“The writer’s job description runs to three words: tell the truth. John Rember is a writer. He tells, unflinchingly, the truth about our looming civilizational collapse. He allows us no illusions, no evasions, no sentimentalities. Rember lives in central Idaho among survivalists who stock their bunkers with ammo and cheese. He has preferred a different form of preparation, storing his mind with logic, wisdom, humility, and compassion—provisions he offers his readers in prose of exemplary lucidity and force.”—William Deresiewicz, author of Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life
“Most books explaining why the world is about to end are not fun to read. They tend to earnest pretension, self-righteous diatribe. John Rember has written a book that is not only entertaining and fun to read, but it matters. His observations are original and surprising. He writes with a scalpel. Buy it, read it. You’ll be a better person.”—Tim Sandlin, author of Skipped Parts: A Novel and Honey Don’t
“John Rember’s perspective on the possibly-soon-to-be-end-times is like nothing I have quite read before. It is not often that a writer effectively combines black humor with seriousness of intent, light touches with heavy themes, a tender sensibility with a bleak global perspective. This book is not trying to sell you anything. It is true, real, and uniquely visionary.”—Paul Kingsnorth, cofounder of the Dark Mountain Project and author of Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays
“Elegantly written, sparkling with brave insights and true stories about our precarious time in history, A Hundred Little Pieces on the End of the World kept me up for two nights running. I already want to read it again.”—Catherine Ingram, author of A Crack in Everything
