Re: Is armageddon going to happen?
Quote:
Where does your outlook of the future fit into your brand of Sci-fi? [I Heart Tech]
February 25th, 2008
When you think about the future, do you see a bright, shiny world that’s free of disease, war and poverty or do you see a barren, smoldering landscape with scattered humans trying desperately to survive?
Are you a pessimist or an optimist, a realist or a pragmatist?
Out there somewhere is a futuristic world waiting for you.
These are broad generalizations and not full plot synopses– just something to give you an idea of where you stand.
. . .
EG
Underlying outlook: Humanity may never reach a golden age, or even really get to explore the heavens. Long before that, humans will be the agent of their own downfall due to inherent, but unavoidable flaws.
Examples of sci-Fi that reflect this: War of the Worlds, Mad Max, Planet of the Apes, Terminator, The Day After Tomorrow, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I Robot, Jurassic Park
