Chapter 3 is supposedly a dream Moore has, where he's 100 years old and being interviewed by his great-granddaughter, Ann Coulter Moore, for a school project. It starts with her bringing him a candle as a present ("because we got an extra one in our ration"), and him asking her for her pencil, so he can burn it for warmth. (She says no, it's the only one she has for the whole year.)  The little girl is astonished and annoyed to hear that we burned all the oil, and didn't even think of leaving any for her.

Because of the way the "story" is told, we get only small glimpses of the post-peak world, but it's very effective and amusing. (At one point, the child asks what an American is - a line that speaks volumes.)

And yes, he does mention a die-off. He actually uses that word:

"When oil production peaked, the price of food went up in lockstep with the price of fossil fuels. The world's poor starved to death first. But, as soon as people realized what was happening, stores and warehouses were attacked, and being rich was little guarantee of having enough food to eat. To make matters worse, when the die-off began, people could not afford to get to work, to heat their homes, to buy electricity. There were some experts who predicted world oil production would peak around 2015, and they were laughed at - but they were right. Fuel prices began escalating ever more sharply - but it was too late to plan for a smooth transformation to a different way to obtain energy. The catastrophe was upon us."
