During the late 1990s, he was one of the leading proponents of the theory that the 'Y2K Bug' would lead to a collapse of civilization, or at least protracted economic depression and technological breakdown on a wide scale. He wrote several books and produced at least one video putting forth that theory (and offering advice on how to survive the coming crisis), though his current website makes little or no mention of this. He authored the best-selling book Time Bomb 2000 (ISBN 0-13-020519-2) about his predictions. Y2K redirects here. ...
