The End of Industrial Civilization

It is already extremely obvious that we are living near the end of the industrial age...meaning that global capitalism is nearing its end. Of course, I don't expect anything to replace capitalism, after it ends. I do suspect that global capitalism will not go away...until the collapse of industrial civilization (CoIC) and near-term human extinction (NTHE) finally arrives.  I do suspect that industrial civilization will end rather abruptly and catastrophically.
