I will be doing a special hour on my blog every now and then, where i write down my thoughts on dystopian/apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic/Science-Fiction/general disaster type films and books and the topic in general!
Today’s Topic
Types of apocalyptic themes:
- Impact event (AKA meteorite hitting Earth)
- Nuclear warfare
- Pandemic
- Extraterrestrial attack (AKA alien invasion)
- Cybernetic revolt (AKA robots/computers try to take over the world)
- Technological singularity (AKA superhuman intelligence created through technology)
- Dysgenics (AKA the watering down of human intelligence though future generations)
- Divine Judgement (AKA return of Christ, etc)
- Climate change
- Resource depletion
…and many more!
My thought for the day:
After finishing reading “H10N1″ by M.R. Cornelius this week, which comes under the Pandemic theme, i came to the following conclusion:
You are either A) the person who pulls their weight trying to keep the world going & keeps it peaceful, or B) the person who runs around shooting anyone who gets in their way & stealing off everyone else.
Which one are you?!
Feel free to comment if you have anything to share!
