JJ Abrams' new series a ripoff of another book series..?

[cresent34]

The more I look at the upcoming Revolution series coming in the Fall, the more I'm convinced it's a rip-off of SM Stirling's "Emberverse" books.

Both take place in a world where the power has permanently been cut world-wide. Both take place in a world that's essentially been knocked back to near-primitive levels of subsistence.

For comparison, here is the official website for Revolution:
