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/AcceptableRange From 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.

To be thorough in our discussion of China's demographic collapse, we must explore as many potential solutions as possible...even if one of those is a UAE-style model of imported workers (aka slavery).
