[QUOTE="Radagast, post: 75129718, member: 20522"] That was the point of my post about World War Z. With less damage in that scenario, they can go from the cannibalisation lifestyle to true rebuilding while enough experts are still alive. You misunderstand me. [B]Life [/B]is obviously self-sustaining. What I mean was that [B]technology [/B]would not have been. Self-sustaining technology means that you make all the stuff you need, and keep alive all the knowledge you need. For example, the Amish of the US don't have a self-sustaining civilisation, because they rely on iron tools which they themselves cannot make. For a different take on civilisation and technology, see this book: [IMG]https://cdn2.penguin.com.au/covers/original/9781786331380.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
