I’m thrilled to share that my first novel, and fifth book overall, is officially in the works! Acceptable Range is coming in early 2027, and you can join the interest list below now! Join the list here: https://bit.ly/AcceptableRangeFrom Peter Zeihan, New York Times bestselling author of The End of the World Is Just the Beginning, comes his first work of fiction: a high-stakes geopolitical thriller that spans continents and tests the limits of power, trust, technology, and national survival. A striking fusion of real-world insight and pulse-pounding suspense, Acceptable Range is a global-systems thriller — part autopsy, part countdown — propelled by the momentum of a civilization in collapse. It examines the machinery of the modern world and how a system built for perfection forgets how to survive error. Even before someone…gives things a push. In an age defined by feedback loops and vanishing margins, the question is no longer whether collapse can be stopped — only whether it can be contained within an acceptable range. Acceptable Range is the first installment of a trilogy, forthcoming from BenBella Books in early 2027.
The Fed just cut interest rates by 0.25%. Instead of the desired boost to a slowing US economy, we ended up with a market drop.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4hzmS5K

I have HUGE faith in Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett! She is earning her stars and stripes! TRUTH MATTERS! WE, WHO ARE BORN IN AMERICA ALL HAVE A VOICE of our TRUTH AND BELONG. OUR PARENTS SHOULD BELONG TOO OUR COUNTRY! THE US CONSTITUTION must NEVER BE TAKEN FROM US! We must not stop due process for our immigrants! In every process point PEOPLE should be held one 5 day week TOPS for their due process and move to what the outcome is! PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT JOB SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

Disappointing episode from someone who usually gets it right. some more research into current battery technologies and capabilities would be worthwhile. To make such grand statements regarding a technology that is changing by the week is nonsense. The rate of change is currently awesome. Most likely is that the amount of battery installed was inadequate. We're in a transition.

True Americans should be utterly appalled by the transparently political convictions of Donald Trump (whether they like Trump or not). It's because of things like a corrupt justice system, that make me never want to live in Moscow or China or Any other banana republic. Biden needs to GO.

Peter seems to think Trump's felony convictions, are the final stake in the heart of the vampire. There are probably some who think of These felony convictions as a crucifixion of a messiah. Those are only the the extreme minority opinions of American voters.

It was actually the conservative CDU that shut down nuclear power in Germany. Not the green party.

Could have mentioned the widespread stultification, due to a new religion, that dulled the M-East's intellectual, technological, political, institutional, innovations after the 7th century.

I was a big fan of Elon musk when it was all about electric vehicles and becoming an inter planetary species but when he took over social media and turned it into a right wing disinformation sewer I went right off him. What a twat.

It is not "nucular." It is difficult to take someone seriously if they cannot even pronounce "nuclear" correctly.

Our own government is the biggest propaganda purveyor on the globe. U.S. news outlets used to fact check the government. Now, they are the mouthpiece of the propagandists.Also, it's not just the things the news outlets say - it's what they don't report that is also problematic. We are turning into China at an alarmingly fast pace.

loved it. The "all Biden not do is not die" was hilarious, but very true.
