We Will Survive

Do you think that energy independence, sustainable agriculture, autonomy food, self-sufficient lifestyle, localism, mutual aid and altruism are vital to building a future worth living? If yes, then you may be, at least partially, a prepper. Preppers are convinced that our world is doomed, that all our systems and, by consequently, that society itself is inevitably on the verge of collapse. But, instead of letting themselves be paralyzed by fear, they put in puts in place a survival strategy in the hope of regaining control over the uncontrollable. They are actively preparing to survive the collapse and establish the new world order that will follow. We Will Survive brings together the perspectives of theorists, researchers, designers and preppers. It explores the paths of thought, philosophy, and the varied lifestyles of a movement once considered marginal, today has become a cultural phenomenon throughout the world.
