Slumped round a table at the restaurant at the end of the
universe waiting for Disaster Area's set or The Great Prophet
Zarquon - whichever is first, Mr DFB, Ganglesprocket, Kid
Dynamite and NewPathsToHelicolin discuss post apocalyptic
fiction.
Periods in history appear to throw up interest in bleak
futurescapes and we are living through a particularly bounteous one
at the moment. Wyndham, The Walking Dead, The Enemy, War Of the
Worlds, Matinee, Threads, Survivors, Triffids, various novel
recommendations and I Am Legend in all its guises are combed over
as well as why we seem to like to wish the human race wiped out so
regularly. How would we survive in a post apocalyptic world? Well
you'll just have to listen to find out.
We pose as many questions as we answer including "will this wind be
so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the earth?" *
