Didn’t read the book but I get the scenario after a hypothetical world changing disaster, it’s going to be a ratrace for high ground.
It’s a false sense of security to believe hoarding cash or guns or vehicle would be your ticket out of it, it’s called pride and hubris.
A motor/car can’t swim. Weapons are a sign of hostility. Cash could be useless.
Even having access to an escape satellite doesn’t guarantee you’ll be hit by space trash or cosmic plasma streams.
The Road is a example how depressing the aftermath really is.

The Road is a good example; this thread also has me thinking about the Amos and Clarissa arc after the meteors hit in The Expanse.
I had gone quite a long time without thinking about The Road.
Day ruined.
