Have a friend whom got to where his business is doing well enough that currently money is no longer an issue. Got very interested in what to do to keep his lack of need for money to be comfortable in the future. Ended up getting involved in a prepper community in a undisclosed remote location. Think it's more of a last resort community for community based self sufficiency and protection.

Always felt you can't eat gold and it doesn't do you much good if everyone else is hungry too.

The Y2K scare was pretty interesting.

There is a book by James Bruke, The Day the Universe Changed. That starts by examining the more technology we have the more we are dependent on it for our daily needs. And how we are losing the ability to be able to go back if needed.

There is also a book called Mail Evil That is about a guy building a seigeable self sufficient castle with everything it needed like it was when that was possible. An apocalypse happens and the story goes on how he and his friend trying to live in and defend the castle from the marauders.
