Nothing compares to Nicholson Baker’s “Human Smoke”. I doubt I would appreciate Baker’s other books but I was pleased to note “In

 regret, if the grid ever goes down, as well as elitist in that not everyone has access to technology.

I never thought I would see Patrick Buchanan urge caution on the part of warmakers.
