Dmitry Orlov at Bristol Community College March 25th

 
Dmitry Orlov, author of Reinventing Collapse:the Soviet Example and American Prospects, will give a mid-day lecture at BCC on Thursday, March 25. The talk is entitled America’s Future at the End of the Oil Age: The Pre-Collapse Check-List. Born in Russia, Orlov moved to the United States while a teenager, and has traveled back repeatedly to observe the Soviet collapse during the late eighties and mid-nineties. He is an engineer who has worked in many fields, including high-energy Physics research, e-commerce and Internet security. Recently, he has been experimenting with off-grid living and renewable energy by giving up the house and the car. Instead, he has been living on a sailboat, sailing it up and down the Eastern Seaboard, and commuting by bicycle. Dmitry believes that, given appropriate technology, we can greatly reduce personal resource consumption while remaining perfectly civilized.
