I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

1) When Technology Fails: a Manual for Self-Reliance & Planetary Survival by Matthew Stein
2) The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery
3) Roughing it Easy by Dian Thomas
4) Nuclear War Survival Skills by Kearny (I can't remember the name for sure and can't put my hands on the book at the moment.)

And, of course, the Bible should have been #1, but I know you didn't need me to say that. This is a bit of thread drift, but did you see "The Book of Eli"? Great movie, although a bit graphic at times. I told my kids half-way through the movie that it was showing how important memorizing Scripture was. And then we saw the end....

Haven't seen The Book of Eli. Is it on DVD ? I will keep my eye out for it. You can download the Kearny book for free. Just google it.
I just started reading a book called Amerika, about a socialist takeover of America (sound familiar ?) after an EMP event.

Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival by Jack A. Spigarelli is a decent one. I'd also recommend the Where There Is No Doctor/Dentist if you can find them.

Five acres and independence by MG Kains is excellent. A bit dated, written in 1935 if I IIRC but full of good info.

I have a full set of the Foxfire series. While they make interesting reading, and were undoubtedly a great learning tool for the students in appalachia to make, they lack detail.
