When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves

  1. Mad Max (movie)

    Book of Eli (movie)

    Revolution (TV series)

    Walking Dead (TV series)

    Watch those in order (or movies first, at least) and your post apocalyptic education will be virtually complete. (Everything P/A is pretty much a riff off of Mad Max and it’s kin, anyway.)

    Have fun!

  2. I disagree that everything postapocalyptic is a riff on Mad Max; it’s more that the genre of Post-Apocalyptic Fiction has been strongly informed by it.

    the work of james tiptree jr, for example, is full of post-apocalyptic worlds that are nothing at all like mad max (Slow Music, Houston Houston Do You Read, even The Screw-Fly Solution)
