Human civilization in 2012 is rapidly moving towards an inevitable collapse. A huge and growing human population; rapid depletion of non-renewable natural resources; escalating deterioration of the environment; dysfunctional government, economic and financial systems; massive and rapidly increasing public and private debt; are all unsustainable and leading towards the Apocalypse. A small group of bloggers came up with a contingency plan for how to do it right, more sustainably, the next time, after the Apocalypse. On December 21, 2012 the world economic and financial system collapse and the Apocalypse ensues. Two hundred and eighty five years after 2012 remnant populations of humans are living as hunter gatherers. In accordance with the contingency plan, a group of Monks emerge from a hidden location to teach these remnants the New Way.
