Collector's Item
After the big Y2K threat became a "non-event" I almost threw this book on the trash heap. Then I realized that it could well be a collector's item one day. There is some sound advice for dealing with natural disasters, planning for record storage,and general common sense practices that are still worth taking a look at now that we are not in a panic mode. Can you imagine if you found a book in your attic entitled "How to Survive the Coming Great Depression" that had belonged to your great grandparents? It would be priceless. This is going into my attic for my grandchildren to dig out someday.

...and for Hyatt's next book, Meteors!
Hysteria and a dose of air time on CSPAN has made Mr. Hyatt the prophet of doom for the great un-happening of the millenium! Imagine all those people hunkered down on New Year's Eve expecting planes to drop out of the sky and ATMs to die, and you have the makings of a great parody. Hyatt's next big project is going to have intergalatic consequences to match the sales rate of this book. The scenarios greatly underestimated the strength of the global infrastructure and painted an alarmist view. I only hope Mike Hyatt stays true to his chapters on Christianity and tithes the loyalties from this alarmist book so the truly deplorable aspects of U.S. society such as undernourished children and the low education level in the "have not" states is at least impacted by this book. In the end if Mr. Hyatt really wants to make a difference in the U.S. write on the digital divide and use CSPAN time to change the priorities for the 3rd world poverty pockets we have here in the U.S.

move it to humor section!
This book is absolutely hilarious! I don't know whether Hyatt really intended to write a parody, but nonetheless he succeeded brilliantly in doing so.
