Joshua has mastered chaos, parachuting into Iraq in March of 2003, graduating Ranger School and Sniper School, and surviving multiple worldwide deployments, prior to earning advanced degrees in both History and Engineering, and then building his own off-grid homestead and farm. \"Thrive in the Coming Dark Age\" describes in detail, the cause and effects of the inevitable collapse that is coming following decades of resource consumption and waste, economic mismanagement, skyrocketing populations, and increasingly lethal conflict.
