World Made by Hand by James Howard Kunstler
5.0

What a nice surprise! A post-apocalyptic book where the apocalypse came with a whimper not a bang, and the protagonists are hormonal adults and not hormonal teens. You have to buy into the idea that the US suddenly stops using gasoline, but once past that, you can settle into the quite plausible reality of people trying to build a new community with the memories of "the good life" still fresh in their minds. Reminded me quite a bit of Slant of Light, though technology is going in opposite directions. I need to get my hands on the sequel.
