I absolutely love post-apocalyptic stories because they're always so interesting and unique, as well as how they all touch up on human nature, no matter what the environment is.

Personally I strongly believe that civilization will collapse and partly due to the selfish ways our world seems to be leaning towards. It seems that more people have are all about themselves, rather what they can do to keep this world going. When you have an "easy" life (and we all do compared to no lights, running water, etc.) it's easy to forget that you are going to school to learn a skill that helps further our world. Way back when, people needed to learn so they could fight sickness, fight to survive, learn to hunt and cook to eat each day, learn to make blankets and clothes so everyone had more than one outfit (due to being dirty, cold, wet, not fitting, etc.). Today, many people just want to learn to make money so they can have what they want.

I'm usually oddly picky when it comes to what post apocalyptic stories I'm willing to read.Wasif Ahmed wrote:Station Eleven can be sorted into the post apocalyptic genre.
What are your thoughts on this genre?
Do you think that civilization will collapse one day?
If yes, then due to what will that happen or how much time will it take?
Do share your thoughts on this topic.
I tend to prefer poems or short stories set in that genre.
