Could you survive if civilization collapsed? Here's a handy guide...

If civilization collapsed, how would you feed yourself? How would you power your home? Nick, host of our Freethink Original Series "Hard Reset" spends a lot of time thinking about this. So is there an instruction manual for all this? Well, Nick is a big fan of The Book: The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding a Civilization. It's a knowledge encyclopedia with over 400 pages of information and illustrations like how to make antibiotics, eye glasses or cheese. It is also a fascinating reminder of how much foundational technology there is built into the world around us that we may take for granted. (And no, this is not an ad. We just really like the book.) If you're new to Freethink, Hard Reset is a show about rebuilding the world from scratch and reimagining everything from first principles. What would you want to see done differently if we started over?
