Lean Logic: A Dictionary For the Future and How To Survive It describes itself as “a community of essays about inventive, cooperative self-reliance in the face of great uncertainty.”

The not-so-lean 736 page project was completed despite the death last year of its author, English ecologist, David Fleming, the inventor and advocate for the energy rationing scheme, Tradeable Energy Quotas.
