If you watch the current TV series, “Revolution” does it throw you into a Civil War, déjà vu mindset? I always inadvertently look for the Blue and the Gray.
I have watched a few episodes in some video-sharing sites. Not too bad. But has nothing to do with the Civil War or the American Revolutionary War.
I watched a couple and got bored. Might I recommend S M Stirling's novels of the change which starts with "Dies the Fire" and goes on, now up to something like 8 volumes. All power goes, steam engines don't work, combustion engines don't work, gunpowder doesn't work.
Hmm.... I have also heard if Stirling's novel, but haven't read it yet. Will it ever get adapted in to TV?
