  1. The beauty and brilliance of the #StationEleven @hbomax series makes me want a similar treatment for S.M. Stirling’s #Emberverse novels about #TheChange. More human-scale postapocalypse stuff, please.

  6. @crazyeddie @Quasit #SMStirling lays out what can happen (including cannibalism) in the #Emberverse series. In Stirling's story, the guns don't work, so in reality, it could be way worse than what Stirling describes.

  11. @wesdym "In a city not prepared to be fortress..." Well, if we had self-sustaining communities, this *might* not be as much as a problem. Community safety will have to be a priority -- but communities will have to defend themselves.

  16. Believe it or not, @Wyatt_H_Knott , I actually researched cannibalism after reading #SMStirling's #Emberverse series. Pretty much only the skin and fatty bits are safe for consumption. Everything else could be toxic -- even after a a slow roasting. Especially the brains. DON'T EAT BRAINS! Any brains!!!

  21. By the way, @Paxil, have you ever read S.M. Stirling's #Emberverse series? It's about all those sorts of factions fighting against each other after an event wipes out technology.

  22. So, an interesting model for a post-collapse world is #SMStirling's #Emberverse series. In his vision, the various factions splinter off and form their own city-states -- two of the main ones in Oregon being Pagan-types, and the other ChristoFascists. I could totally see this happening in the US and other places... Unfortunately...

  27. Wikipedia: "Dies the Fire is a 2004 alternate history and post-apocalyptic novel written by S. M. Stirling. It is the first installment of the Emberverse series and is a spin-off from S. M. Stirling's Nantucket series in which the Massachusetts island of Nantucket is thrown back in time from March 17, 1998 to the Bronze Age.

    "In Dies the Fire, S. M. Stirling chronicles two groups during 'The Change', a mysterious worldwide event suddenly alters physical laws so electricity, gunpowder, and most other forms of high-energy-density technology no longer work. As a result of this, modern civilization comes crashing down.

    "Dies the Fire is a fantasy novel set in post-apocalyptic Oregon and Idaho. After an unknown phenomenon disables most forms of modern technology such as electricity, high-pressure steam-power, combustion, computers, electronics, guns, car and jet engines, and batteries, people quickly adapt, relying on swords and bows. Many people starve..."

  28. Whenever I hear planes flying low, I always think of the beginning of the novel, "Dies The Fire." Is the "Change" upon us? #Emberverse

  29. As an avid #Dystopian fiction reader (and writer), the scenarios closest to I thought what we might experience is (IMHO) the novel "Dies The Fire", as well as "The Hunger Games". "Dies The Fires" / #Emberverse has an interesting fictional scenario -- guns don't work, and nuclear radiation is lessened. But even that "ideal" scenario is wrought with death, disease, discord, dictators -- the usual stuff that happens when societies break down. DTF does offer a glimmer of hope, but with #ClimateChange, I think even that bit of hope has been dashed. So yeah. #HungerGames, #Elites pitting us against each other for entertainment. That seems way more likely.
