We have entered “The Age of Collapse,” an era where mankind will suffer severe disasters because of new technologies, such as bioengineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and our fragile economic system, irresponsible government, and dependent, unprepared population. Written by Dr. Drew Miller, a former intelligence officer, retired Air Force Colonel, Department of Defense analyst, and Harvard PhD, this book delivers credible, unfiltered warnings about the grave threats facing America today. From AI being weaponized by rogue states and terrorists to an imminent H5N1 pandemic, from the risk of civil war in a politically fractured nation to China’s looming invasion of Taiwan that could lead to nuclear conflict, the threats are real, immediate, and potentially catastrophic. Unlike mainstream reporting that ignores these dangers, Dr. Miller's book presents a blunt, evidence-based analysis of current collapse threats. Readers will learn how advanced AI will create weapons of mass destruction, how our political dysfunction and unconstitutional governance have left us exposed, and why collapse is not just possible, but inevitable. But this book isn’t just about warning—it’s about action. It offers practical advice on prepping, bug-out planning, civil defense, and using tools like the Collapse Survivor App to stay informed. It also proposes bold reforms to restore constitutional limits and get responsible government back to prepare for collapse disasters. Controversial reform proposals include banning legislators from having civil defense protection not afforded to all citizens, revoking the US promise to defend Taiwan, and allying with China in a global alliance to prevent super-intelligent AGI that could exterminate humanity. Living in the Age of Collapse with repeated Weapons of Mass Destruction attacks and collapse disasters will initially cause tremendous fatalities and devastation until we have prepared. . . but we can adapt . . . and if we reform foreign and military policies, switch to more rural living, sustainable farming, and local production, change human behavior, the Age of Collapse could actually provide a higher quality of life and better planet than we have now. This book proposes a way to prepare for the Age of Collapse and save humanity. For everyone who wants to survive, Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse is essential reading.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781510785878","publication_date":"20260127","publisher":"Skyhorse","slug":"preparing-to-survive-in-the-age-of-collapse","subtitle":"Political, Military, Foreign Policy, and Preparedness Reforms Vital for Our Survival","title":"Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"SEL049010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Survival & Emergency Preparedness","score":0.7071,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World Politics","score":0.6898,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL042040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Radical Politics","score":0.6846,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"SEL049010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Survival & Emergency Preparedness","score":0.7071,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World Politics","score":0.6898,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL042040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Radical Politics","score":0.6846,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"POL011000","confidence_band":"high","label":"International Relations","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL012000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Security Studies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL040000","confidence_band":"high","label":"American Government","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL040020","confidence_band":"high","label":"World Politics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL063000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Science & Tech Policy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SEL047000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Personal Safety & Self-Defense","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SEL049010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Survival & Emergency Preparedness","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Survival & Emergency Preparedness","score":0.7071,"slug":"survival-emergency-preparedness"},{"label":"World Politics","score":0.6898,"slug":"world-politics"},{"label":"Radical Politics","score":0.6846,"slug":"radical-politics"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Survival & Emergency Preparedness","Good for readers interested in survival","Good for readers who enjoy Survival & Emergency Preparedness and World Politics."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Joseph Alton","Amy Alton"],"book_id":"9781632202611","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781632202611.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":13.1901,"title":"The Ultimate Survival Medicine Guide","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781632202611"},{"authors":["Amy Alton"],"book_id":"9781629147703","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781629147703.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":13.1812,"title":"The Ultimate Survival Medicine Guide","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781629147703"},{"authors":["U.S. Department of the Army"],"book_id":"9781602391260","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781602391260.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":12.6333,"title":"U.s.
