[QUOTE="Warden_of_the_Storm, post: 75129689, member: 381462"] That's a point that is brought up, in that children born in the metro know nothing about the old world except from books they have, and they don't know anything about the old world animals and such. There are elements of training and people being able to make stuff, mainly helped through the people who are willing to go up to the world above to get tech and other stuff that's needed. There is an element of self-sustaining, in that people farm mushrooms underground as well as grow pigs and chickens. But as is pointed out in the story, these animals aren't the perfect specimens they were before they nuclear attacks. It definitely does fit the whole "we can do anything" vibe that humanity in general has, and the old Russian "we'll never surrender" spirit too. But it's pointed out a lot in both the books and the games that if humanity in Moscow stays confined to the metro then they'll die out. Though remember, this series is largely based around Moscow more than the world in general. The latest game, Metro Exodus, does a point of showing the humanity in Russia does exist outside of Moscow and... well, it's a whole thing. I'll admit, the Metro series is one that is kind of hard to explain without seriously going through the wiki for it, or playing the games and/or reading the books. [/QUOTE]
