I voted for "Nuclear/Asteroid Fallout (e.g. Fallout or Lucifer's Hammer) " though the 2 possibilities mentioned in it are quite different. I think that "asteroid fallout" has the potential to unite humankind, but that "nuclear fallout" would only further divide us. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

A major oversight on my part... perhaps my subconscious is already trying to scrub the last two years from my immediately accessible memory. :-) Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.	[reply]

I miss some options...as in Nuclear holocaust: that looked like something very likely to happen when I was a child... planing how to build my own bunker was one of my favorite pastimes then! The christian apocalypse or well, any other future where paranormal things become normal like the earth being invaded by demons, ghosts, vampires, etc. The human race transmutes into something different, like all our consciences being transferred to a computer. Or amebas (has anybody read Seedling Stars?). Idiocracy. We get to a point where machines do everything for us (work, art, etc.). Our creator reveals to us and removes all the suffering from the world. Everybody is happy ever after. Genetic engineering becomes a commodity. Everybody can become whatever he wants. Immortality too.	[reply]

The 1980's cartoon Thundercats depicts an almost serene post apocalyptic future version of our world, sparsely populated by various anthropomorphic creatures, magical beings and a few humans. Could be fun to live there (I used to think back in the day).	[reply]

Everyone lives in space Titan A.E., Independence War 2 Although the whole Star Trek universe (original, not reboot) would be even nicer. Pretty sure that counts as a "post-apocalyptic world", the whole space travel thing starts after World War 3 has devastated the planet. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

Probably counts as a Zombie Infestation, but the original Apocalypse that got the whole business going was Jesus'. Wouldn't choose that one, I guess.	[reply]

I've always felt it unfortunate that the term "apocalypse" has come to mean "horrible end of the world as we know it", when it really just means "revelation". Apocalyptic literature didn't begin with the Christians, but began not long prior, and was certainly very popular among early Christians.	[reply]

Larry, from Apocalypse 1: The Ugly, the Bad, and the Good: People get scared when they hear the word Apocalypse, but here I mean it in the good sense: a Revealing. An Apocalypse is supposed to reveal good news to good people. (And if it also happens to reveal bad news to bad people, so be it. Just don't be bad.)	[reply]
