Is there any science fiction based on the premise of fossil fuels having run, and the world returning, perforce, to the much slower pace of pre-electricity/ pre-petroleum communication/travel? Is there any speculation about how the present-day population would manage in such a scenario?
Why SF - there are enough (relatively) sober, serious discussions about this. This is being presented as a likely scenario, NOT as fiction.
