While somewhat of a leap from your blog, if you enjoy science fiction at all, you would probably find Lucifer's Hammer an interesting read. The premise begins with a comet hitting the Earth, a group of people making their way to the nearest power plant to try to repair it while keeping the one guy with the knowledge to do the repairs alive - an insulin dependent diabetic. It really demonstrates not only how reliant on technology we are, but how much value, comfort, and yes even lifespan it adds to our lives.
