thoughts about post-apocalyptic fiction and climate change
post-apocalyptic fiction that doesn't just depict the world after the end as basically mad max is very important
like, we can do better
we need more stories where people work together to help each other survive and build a community out of the ashes of the old world
instead of just... warlords or some shit
it'll be very important in the coming years
fiction informs our ideas about what's possible
if, after the climate apocalypse, we assume the only things we can do are recreate capitalism or devolve into barbarity -- then that's all that will ever happen
but a better world IS possible
and the time will come when it will be our job to build it
and that starts today, with the stories we tell

@vantablack have you ever seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? It's a manga and more well known as a movie, one of the first ones studio ghibli made, and it deals with this kind of idea--a post-apocalyptic world where people are just helping each other survive
