Sponsor |  seekerpat | Feb 29, 1:36pm | Whats your favorite or recommended post-apocalyptic novels, short stories or movie/TV series?
Here's some of mine to start off:
Dies the Fire by SM Sterling
World War Z by Max Brooks(technically a horror novel, but it has enough SF elements IMO)
Midnight Mass by F. Paul Wilson(same as above, but its pretty dammm apocalyptic!)
Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle
Dr Strangelove(actually a pre-apolcalypse film, but a good way to start)
The Road Warrior
Def-Con 4
A Boy and his Dog
The Time Machine(debatable if it belongs here, but its a good movie)
Planet of the Apes(the Chuck version)
Soylent Green(speaking of Chuck)
Day of the Triffeds
The Last Wave
Zardoz(sure, its an unholy mess but it has Sean Connery in a red jumper and thigh boots...priceless) |
