You buy it (or find it) and I'd read it. But I might be depressed following the reading. I know quite a bit about societies that have failed, and I don't think any of them see the writing on the wall, or at the minimum, make a social contract with their fellows to ignore the warnings. There certainly is a choice to it, IMO. If people follow their beliefs and not the empirical evidence of their actions, it's no wonder whole societies can find themselves circling the drain.

Thor Heyerdal wrote a good one about Easter Island way back when. Explained the big and little statues.
