Why would the electricity be gone? Maybe it just "went away". (The
novel ARIEL describes such a situation--a very good fantasy story,
too.)
The problem with your plan--learning to hunt and hang out on a
reservation--is that about 200,000,000 other people will be having
much the same idea. And the land can't possibly support even a tiny
fraction of that many. Remember--the native american population was
*tiny* compared to what we have today, and they had all of the
completely undeveloped continent to hunt. Large tracts of the
continent are now buried under concrete or cut up into farmland or
suburbs and thus unsuitable for supporting the game that might support
YOU (and me and everyone else).
It may be that some hunter/gatherer cultures had more leisure time
than we do--and then again, maybe they didn't. But if they did, it
was because they had very lush, very productive land to forage from.
Most primitives didn't. That kind of land was limited; most had to
work harder on less fertile lands just to survive.

Or something. I just finished DRAKON (the new Draka novel by S. M.
[STEVE] Stirling). One of the technologies you encounter in this
novel is just that--robot "cockroaches" used for espionage. When the
Draka and the Samothracians both have four hundred years worth of
nanotech and bio-engineering to work with, the limits are...broad.
The spyroaches are one of the simpler devices employed in the story.

We've already put hydroelectric power plants on most of the available
watercourses. As for wind and solar and geothermal--there simply
isn't ENOUGH of it to power our civilization. A high-tech
civilization requires vast amounts of energy, and the only available
sources concentrated enough to do the job are fossil fuels and nuclear
power.

Caves can be *very* cold sometimes. And ask submariners about the
danger of fire in "nonflammable" areas like steel submarines....

BRAVO STEPHEN!
I couldn't agree more. One need not be fed sit-com "PABLUM" all the
time. Heck, even X-Files makes you "pay-attention!" I think TV
executives frequently UNDERESTIMATE the intelligence of the public.
Some of us WANT TO BE CHALLENGED. Some of us want to have to think
about stories and mull them over and, yes, even discuss them for more
than 30 seconds.
Tom Veil is in a situation that evolves and we are not certain just hwat
is coming up mext. I cannot usually precit just what will happen next
nor what the next episode will entail. On top of that I LIKE the fact
that it hasn't become a show which is SUPER POPULAR. When that happens,
it seems to take some of the mystique out of the series (some not all).
Don't worry that you Dad has different tastes. That's fine too. Never
put-down others who may not appreciate things you do. It may be
DISAPPOINTING but it doesn't make others cretins.
For example, I am not a huge SPORTS FAN - never have been. I do watch
the odd NHL hockey game, CFL or NFL football game, some basketball but
hardly any. I always watch tennis when it comes to Wimbledon and The
U.S. Open. Moreover, I get a kick out of figure skating. However,
people do LIVE for sport and that's okay with me. I just won't stay
inside on Sundays watching back-to-back football. However, I will watch
X-Files and NOWHERE MAN and some DS9 and Voyager. I'll even take in
Murphy Brown or Frasier when the mood strikes as well as Seinfeld.
Different tastes for different people and for different times.
My Dad and I used to watch The Prisoner religiously when it was first
broadcast (we got hooked right off). Ergo, I still like seeing re-runs.
I am always HOPEFUL when new science fiction or fantasy series appear
