Summary: Subscribe at iTunes Dr William Forstchen – author of “One Second After” gave a riveting interview and is one of our highlights of this podcast as we discuss at length what EMP is and how he created a novel that has captivated an audience with his realistic portrayal of “life after an EMP.” Dr. Forstchen fields a wide range of questions from The Engineer and me as we dig into the effects and possibilities of Electromagnetic Pulse, Coronal Mass Ejection and the pop culture risk for those who choose to ignore the growing danger as our enemies are working to make this happen. If you have wondered what it would be like after the lights go out, rest assured, the show, Revolution scarcely depicts what would happen in the early days - the first 12 months - when 75% to 90% of our population would perish due to starvation, disease and dehydration, as well as civil unrest and violence. Dr. Fortschen's book gives a frighteningly realistic and chilling view of what might happen - set in a small town in North Carolina and how this small town faces the realization the lights are not coming back on and food, medicine, transportation and energy are running out with no help from the outside. How does this relate to the show? If the TV series ever dedicated a full episode or three on the weeks and months just after the power goes down you would have a deeper appreciation for those who are still alive and scratching out a living 15 years on in the Monroe Republic. We discuss the threat of North Korea's efforts to create a society-killing EMP weapon as well as Russia's efforts to improve on the technology by creating a "Super EMP" weapon.
