About James Howard Kunstler
Throughout his career, Kunstler has authored both fiction and non-fiction works, including a series of post-apocalyptic novels beginning with World Made by Hand (2008) that envision a future of localized, low-energy communities. As a journalist, he has written for major publications including The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. His political views have evolved significantly over time, transitioning from harsh criticism of conservative politics to more recent support for certain conservative positions and skepticism of mainstream Democratic policies. While his peak oil predictions proved premature due to technological developments like fracking, Kunstler continues to advocate for sustainable urban planning, improved rail infrastructure, and preparation for what he sees as inevitable resource constraints, maintaining his influence through writing, speaking engagements, and online commentary.
