520    In this groundbreaking book, John Urry shows how the 
       twentieth century created a mirage of unlimited future 
       growth that masked its limits. He considers the nature of 
       an oil-dependent world facing energy descent and what 
       lessons can ce learned from past energy-constrained 
       societies. With no large-scale plan B to energize and 
       mobilize societies, Urry assesses the likelihood of some 
       very different futures for this century.
