I don’t know much about this, and I am definitely not a historian, but the Bronze age collapse was absolutely local rather than global, albeit larger in scope than most similar collapses. China’s Shang Dynasty seems to have been unaffected, and it’s unclear how much it affected Egypt. (And I have no idea why it wasn’t mentioned in the book.)
