For well over half a century, since the first credible warnings of
petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s, contemporary
industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a
culture more focused on problem solving than any other has
repeatedly failed to deal with, or even consider, the problem most
likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak
oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum
production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every
sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport, and no
known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to
replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the
first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and
its consequences, as a case study in the social psychology of
collective failure, and as an issue with which psychologists and
therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead.
