Complete economical and societal collapse ensuing from a crash of the capitalist system

—

When long gone is the time of easy groceries packaged and delivered to a shop down the street from you, when you are left to fend for yourself in a world where resources have been made so scarce cannibalism has become a frightful but necessary reality, when you realise that practicing that cannibalism on the rich would not only be your best option but also the most karmically appropriate, you will have this cookbook. Cooking the Rich, a survival cookbook for the apocapitalypse.

Cooking the Rich: a survival cookbook for the apocapitalypse is a satire on capitalism written in the form of a cookbook. A cookbook for when "the people shall have no more to eat," and "they will eat the rich."

Imagined as a cannibalistic manual for the post-apocapitalyptic hunter-gatherer trying to survive the brutal, malnourishing anarchy that would have ensued from a complete crash of the capitalist system (the apocapitalypse), Cooking the Rich picks up on the words of Jean-Jacques Rousseau to explore shortcomings and contradictions in the capitalist model. Survivalism meets capitalism-for-dummies in this acid piece of humour, describing different key players among the rich-turned-hunting game.
