A remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

A remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.
When Ayla’s research takes her to a remote river in Canada’s far north, Chris brings their daughter to an isolated island in the southern Pacific. Though at opposite ends of the earth, they both awaken one morning to black skies, and a night that doesn’t end. Slowly, Ayla and Chris begin to realize that humanity has been inexplicably wiped out, and only their isolation has saved them. Besides the handful of people around them, they are now alone in the world. As they struggle to build new ways to live, they must also struggle with how to let go of their past.
Millions of years later, when their descendants finally meet, they have evolved to become two very different kinds of humans, with two very different civilizations. As each tries to build a better world for themselves, navigating love, loss, betrayal and success within their own societies, their biggest challenge may be to recognize the humanity of the other.

If #civilization began again from scratch, what kinds of societies would evolve next time? #Communal, #capitalist. #theocratic, #meritocratic, #secular, #egalitarian, #exploitive? Societies are usually a combination of these types, but do they always combine as we expect them to? Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance? Tomorrow is the last day I’ll be giving away my novel HUMAN to FediHumans. Visit https://bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.html and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

I made some time to watch #GreenlandMovie this last week. I had missed it when it came out. I'm usually a fan of apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction and this movie definitely fits the bill. A comet flys by the Earth and part of it of various sizes start impacting the Earth. Chaos ensues.
It definitely has a lot of tension and suspense. Cast is really good. #GerardButler #MorenaBaccarin I've gotten to enjoy #ScottGlenn lately as the old curmudgen and he does it here faithfully.
I think I expected a little more from it though I'm not sure what. But... I hear there is a sequel planned. It will poke my post-apocalyptic button, so I'm sure I'll see it when it comes out.
Did you see it? What did you think?

My presentation — the one that my entire future hinged on — was unfortunately scheduled for Friday, the same day I was supposed to prevent the apocalypse.

The drive back was tense. Quiet. Weirdly awkward.
It didn’t help that Todd’s windshield was gone, and the cold night air was blasting our faces. And it definitely didn’t help that I couldn’t figure out why Todd wouldn’t even look at me.

This was the single creepiest place I’d ever seen. In other words: the perfect spot for a demon lair.

With a horrific plop, Todd’s head landed two feet away from his crumpled body. He was dead.
And I saw red.

By the time I crept out of the house, Todd was already waiting for me in the bushes. I was so happy to see him, and not just because he still had my demon-slaying sword with him.

This demon was real. He’d come to eat me. I released him from the bowels of wherever, and now he was famished.
He was only six inches tall, though, so it would probably take a while to tear me apart.

I almost passed out from the fumes and the temperature and the horrible realization that I had just opened a direct channel into Hell.
The thing, whatever it was, growled again. It was closer now. It was crawling out of the fiery pit.

“It’s so strange,” Dad said. “First, the sky rained frogs. And now this stuff with the park.”
He was talking about the giant cracks in the earth.

Because nothing in my life was going as planned, I literally collided with Todd while I was hurrying out the front door. That’s why you gotta keep your head up when you’re speed-walking.

Basketballs hurtled past my head. The air smelled like sweat and desperation. Sneakers squeaked in unholy pain.
Gym class wasn’t exactly my natural habitat.

Todd was late for our first study session. Not by much, though. Only about ten minutes.
But ten minutes is a good chunk of time when study hall lasts for only forty-five.

Something crunched under my sneaker. The sidewalks were still pretty frog-covered, but by now the pieces had dried out in the sun.

Most schools would’ve canceled class after the sky rained frogs. But not Farber High. Nope. We’d had a three-day sewage leak-a-thon this semester (pretty gross), so we couldn’t afford to miss any more class.

Today sucked beyond all imagining.
I smiled like an idiot.
Now, those two sentences don’t exactly fit together. Unless you’re a masochist, or like a proud vacuum cleaner or something.

Season 4 episode 9.5: The Fantasies of Post apocalyptic Dystopian Fiction (Special Extra Bonus Half Episode)
There was so much to explore about post-apocalyptic fiction and the fantasies it allows us to have of, for instance, being the colonized "good guys" instead of the colonizer "bad guys" that we ended up with an entire extra half episode. What is the moral responsibility of reading post-apocalyptic science fiction? How should we feel about enjoying works that position white colonizers as victims?
Here it is! Enjoy!!

Season 4 episode 9: The Fantasies of Post-apocalyptic Dystopian Fiction, with Ariel Kroon
Classic, post-apocalyptic, dystopian fiction is a type of fantasy where we’re dreaming of starting over in an empty landscape from a societal and cultural slate wiped clean by some devastating event that we don’t have to feel guilty about having happened—at least, it is according to our very own Ariel Kroon, who does, yes, have a PhD in it.* Yet, at the same time, these fantasies generally suffer from a strange lack of imagination, wherein the characters use the “fresh new start” to recreate the same old society, albeit with themselves at the top, with the same old systemic socioeconomic, environmental, and structural problems.
It’s almost as if it is easy to dream up apocalypse but next to impossible to envision a different way of living. Although a failure of imagination would most likely look different for solarpunk, can solarpunk creators and dreamers of a positive future avoid falling into the same sort of trap?
*Post-apocalyptic Canadian science-fiction 1948-1989, she wants to clarify. She’s even got the thesis to prove it.
