James Howard Kunstler is a public speaker, critic, and author of Too Much Magic, a book about limited oil and a reversion to smaller-scale, agriculture-based living. Duo Dickinson, a frequent guest on Burning Down the House, is an architect specializing in designing residences in urban, suburban, and exurban areas.
