I was hoping people would focus on "THE SURVIVALIST No 1: TOTAL WAR" rather than the big book of ORN

In a world maddened by destruction - could one man survive?

For years John Rourke, ex-C.I.A Covert Operations Officer, weapons and personal survival expert had planned just one thing.

Survival, for him and his family.

The emergency wilderness retreat had been found, fortified and supplied. Now the ultimate crisis was upon them: nuclear strike and Russian invasion.

With Rourke half a continent away from family and home.

And so began a desperate, epic journey to a home that might not even exist any more, across an America shattered and burning, where murderous bands fought and killed. Killed for food, for clothing, weapons, and even from a sheer lawless lust for destruction.

both ryan adams and bright eyes were sensitive indie stars of the early 00s and they are both (from what i can tell) a total mess by this point, i guess they must both be in their late 40s or 50s by now. a former lover to both of them, phoebe bridges, took a pretty similar sound and lyrical approach ten years later and is now a full wholesome superstar in line with the times and playing to an audience of teenage girls. to draw a parallel the bit of the lower east side that the 00s indie scene grew up in as a kind of exciting adventure for the protagonists is now a set of dank narrow and expensive streets that absorbs all the boozing from across the city into one zone, with a few holdouts from that time but also bar after bar after bar and all kinds of booze food and related ephemera. the indie thing of the time glorified damage and sadness. bright eyes and ryan adams are sad and damaged and give the impression of being in a tough corner. playing cleveland on a sunday night to keep things going and to to pay the bills on the big houses and maids they've got used to. then getting hammered and depressed on stage in front of people who realistically are fans of who they were and what they could do twenty years ago.
