Feel free to visit my blog Sublime Oblivion (http://www.sublimeoblivion.com/) on Russia, geopolitics and global trends. I've been cited in and published on other blogs, newspapers and a book on tacking obesity. I am currently writing "Sublime Oblivion: A Short History of the Next Century" on how long-term trends, Malthusian dynamics and chaotic disruptions will affect the future of industrial civilization.

I also have a related discussion forum (http://www.sublimeoblivion.com/forum/), fan page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Anatoly-Karlin/139957202764?ref=mf) and a presence on Twitter (http://twitter.com/sublimeoblivion), LiveJournal (http://akarlin.livejournal.com/), and YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/anatolykarlin).
