[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 75143373, member: 274355"] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]Hey guys, I thought I'd just ask what are your favourite collapse Sci-Fi novels? I like:- 1. Day of the Triffids & 2. The Chrysalids, both by John Wyndham. 3. "The Postman" by David Brin. It's a controversial choice as it was turned into a really b-grade movie (which I never saw for that reason) - but I just enjoyed the thoughts of the main character, a history teacher walking from village to village looking for something. 4. "The Road" Cormac McCarthy is more literature than sci-fi - it won the Pulitzer prize for fiction. But I warn you, it will break your heart. It is one of the bleakest post-nuclear things you'll ever read. 5. "Lucifer's Hammer" - Niven & Pournelle co-authorship. As usual for them, it's on a BIG canvas with lots of characters and points of view. A comet breaks up and parts hit the earth in the 1980's, so there's Cold War stuff as well. 6. "Footfall" an alien invasion novel by Niven & Pournelle again - with a great plot resolution I'll never forget! MOVIES: "Book of Eli" and "Fury Road" - although I'm not sure this Mad Max movie actually is a movie, or is it more a weird modern art performance piece? 7. To finish it all off, back to Isaac Arthur's youtube essay on how quickly we could rebuild after an apocalypse - just to cheer us up again! [MEDIA=youtube]QWmEgu1iP_E[/MEDIA][/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
