About this listen
“A kind of apocalyptic Super Size Me” (The Guardian) that is both “page turning and thoughtful” (Financial Times) about “prepper” communities around the world that are building fortresses against an array of threats.
Currently, 3.7 million Americans call themselves preppers. Millions more prep without knowing it. Bradley Garrett, who began writing this book years before the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, argues that prepping is a rational response to global, social, and political systems that are failing to produce credible narratives of continued stability. Left with a sense of foreboding fueled by disease outbreaks, increasing government dysfunctionality, eroding critical infrastructure, nuclear brinksmanship, and an accelerating climate crisis, people all over the world are responding predictably - by hunkering down.
Garrett traveled across four continents to meet those who are constructing panic rooms, building underground backyard survival chambers, stockpiling supplies, preparing go bags, hiding inflatable rafts, rigging mobile “bugout” vehicles, and burrowing deep into the earth. He has returned with “a big-thinking, deep-diving, page-turning study of fear, privilege, and apocalypse” (Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland) from the frontlines of the way we live now: an illuminating reflection on our age of disquiet and dread that brings our times into new and sharper focus.
With scenes that are “fascinating, amusing, crazy, chilling, and surreally topical” (Douglas Preston, author of Lost City of the Monkey God), Garrett shows that the bunker is all around us: in malls, airports, gated communities, the vehicles we drive. Most of all, he reveals, it’s in our minds.

At important meetings in 2021 and 2022, powerful leaders from government, finance, media, and business who support the World Economic Forum’s plan for a Great Reset of capitalism launched a new “call to action” titled the “Great Narrative.” The Great Narrative campaign seeks to use the decay of traditional values throughout the West and new and future advancements in technology—including in the areas of artificial intelligence, automation, the metaverse, robotics, and more—to seize control of economies and societies in North America and Europe.

In The Return of the Gods, Cahn takes the listener on a journey from an ancient parable, the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in our world to this day, specifically in America. The mystery involves the gods. Who are they? What are they? And is it possible that these beings, whose origins are from ancient times, are the unseen catalysts of modern culture?

But The Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics.

COVID-19 was used to launch the worst tyranny in American history, which we’re still facing even now. It was also the worst oppression in global history since the Third Reich. Just as that evil required a reckoning at Nuremberg, this one does as well. In this Nuremberg 2.0, we call witnesses that our elected representatives and law enforcement agents need to hear from in order to know the full extent of the evil and who is responsible for it—so that this never happens again.

Most people think that being prepared for catastrophe means stocking up on MREs and building a bunker in their backyard, but this approach leaves you vulnerable in the real world of car accidents, natural disasters, grid failures, and global pandemics. Prepared overturns today’s paranoid survival wisdom and teaches the foundational skills of preparedness that will not only help you build situational awareness and achieve greater mobility but that will also help you build resilient mental habits.

It has been proclaimed many times, but perhaps never more convincingly than now, when every news cycle seems to deliver further confirmation of a world gone mad. Is this the endgame?

And we can surmount each one. Klavan brings to the West’s defense the insights of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and the Founding Fathers to show that in the wisdom of the past lies hope for the future.

Story
According to the Encyclopedia of American Crime, "Perhaps the most important criminal conference of the American underworld was held during three days in May 1929 in Atlantic City", during which "the overlords of American crime discussed their future plans" at an event that was "earthshaking in its effect on the development of American crime syndicates". It's a great tale starring Al Capone, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, and Nucky Johnson, who inspired Boardwalk Empire. This story has everything...with maybe one small exception.

Wow that was good
Kudos to the author for such a well written, interesting and educational experience into a subculture I knew very little about. A wonderful blend of entertaining and insightful with a lot to think about and discuss. The narrator felt a little fast for me only at the beginning and thought he did a great job as well. Highly recommend.

excellent view on the reality of prepping….
lots of talking with very little actual work in every aspect and facet of prepping across the planet.
finally an educated man taking an educated years long stroll through all the dark corners of the preparedness community allowing each character to speak for themselves.

Surprised and delighted.
To be honest I didn't know what to expect when my son suggested I read this book; he knew I had a passing interest in prepping and also knew I was disappointed with many of the authors I'd read in the past. First off let me put this one thing to rest: I generally don't read a book that is read by the author, having learned the hard way that nearly all authors should leave this to the professionals; and here was the first surprise, Mr. Garrett did a very good job, perhaps even indistinguishable from a professional reader. Know that this will not interrupt the quality and enjoyment of the book. What struck me most about this book is, what seemed to me, Mr. Garrett's disappointment with the state of the "prepper" world. I had the sense, that like me, he was looking for and expected to find leaders with commitment, integrity and intelligence; an affirmation that it's not just about crackpot beliefs, conspiracy theories and hording. What he found seemed to me a disappointment to him, and perhaps somewhat of a disillusionment; marketing by shysters, low commitment to standards, and no centralizing agreement on how things should be done, or people's reasons for doing them. Want to know a little about this movement and some of the people behind it? I found this book fascinating and if you have ever wondered about whether you too should put something aside for a disaster, this book can help you find some direction.

Brad does a great job in presenting what would otherwise be a dry topic. If you’re interested in the prepping community, a history of bunkers, and the current state of both, this is a well worth your time. No, he doesn’t tell you how to build a bunker, but he does provide perspective.

a fun, fascinating, easy listen!
ive never been the first to do a review before! man, so much pressure. i saw the author on the joe rogan podcast, and was interested in some of the stuff he had to say, so i decided to pick up the book. while i liked the rogan interview, i kinda felt like the topic of conversation kept getting sidetracked by the host into topics not really about bunkers and prepping, but the author tried his best given the spotlight he was in. first, i really dug the fact how relevant and up to date this book is. what great timing to have a book come out about preparing for the end of the world during the end of the world, and he covers the topic of COVID 19 throughout the book. the performance was great. overall i gave this book 5/5 stars, as it kept me interested, and kept me coming back for more, and finished it in less than a day. i kinda felt like, at times, he was mocking the subjects he was covering though, to be fair, i got that vibe from the right wing preppers and the Trump hating preppers. i can tell the narrator doesn't like Trump a lot.
