Why this book
Britain's systems run with very little slack. Food arrives just in time. Power, water, payments and phones all depend on networks most of us never think about. Politics is more divided, trust in institutions is falling, and new technology is moving faster than anyone is ready for.
Most people will carry on as if none of this can touch them. This book is for the people who would rather be ready.
It looks at the crises most likely to hit the UK over the next ten years, how likely each one is, and what an ordinary household can sensibly do about it. It is written in plain language, with real sources, and no panic.
