Ugh. Dude. And so many video games depend on post-apocalyptic tropes. Just trying to find something to play it's like "how 'bout Fallout? 'how bout a shitty Fallout ripoff? How 'bout Japanese Fallout?" Earth Abides is fundamentally a hopeful book. That helps. Almost no post-apocalyptic stories are. Zelazny's Damnation Alley actually ends up being hopeful and it's a lot shorter than Earth Abides. The movie is... Jan Michael Vincent and George Pappard and carnivorous ants at a mall in Nebraska. Not the same. I finished Horizon:Zero Dawn in April. That one is post-apocalyptic, but it's also really hopeful. It's also really beautiful. And it's largely about people getting on with their lives. Meanwhile I've imprinted hard on Surviving Mars, probably because it's Sim City where simply making things livable is its own reward.
