I highly recommend reading One Second After by William R. Forstchen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Second_After

I used to teach and consult on various preparedness topics and people used to ask me what my favorite "survival manual" was. It is this book.

TL;DR - 90% of the US population dies in 1 year.

Yep, this is indeed a good series to read. When I read that it felt as close to a reality of the outcome as it can get.
