I don't think I would want to read a book where people do everything right and things still go to poo poo. I already live in reality I don't need to spend my spare time consuming it.

I already live in reality I don't need to spend my spare time consuming it. For me the problem with a lot of post-apocalypse fiction is either that it is basically patriot fiction but instead of it being Obummer's racemixing FEMA troopers, it's zombies or cultists or something -- OR, it's like two hundred years later, and everything still looks like a complete shithole. It's understandable that you don't get stories about the long, boring stuff which would come from the dust settling and successor civilizations starting amongst the survivors. Not only is that going to involve a lot of tedium and very little cool action, it will rapidly become your own say-so, but without any exciting gun battles to conceal it.

Splicer posted:That's what you have now though, it's just that everything goes to poo poo because bandits or the local religious cult show up or That Guy lets all the zombies in. Apocalypse fiction writers cannot seem to conceive of something challenging (not defeating, challenging) The Good Guys that's not Some Bad Guys.

Not only is that going to involve a lot of tedium and very little cool action, it will rapidly become your own say-so, but without any exciting gun battles to conceal it. The book "Station Eleven" is interesting because it's set just before, and twenty years after, a pandemic kills most of the population. Characters talk about or elude to the awful poo poo that happened in the couple of decades post collapse, but civilisation is already starting to bounce back to the point where it's dangerous but viable to exist as a band of travelling musicians that also act as a slow-motion postal service between settlements and at the end of the book, there's one settlement that's managed to bring their electrical grid back online. Its thesis is that yeah, poo poo would absolutely suck and some people would be murderous raiders but that's not sustainable forever. People are a) smart, b) work together, and c) always want to make their lives better with music and stories and art, even at the worst of times. whoops, this is the meme thread.

Splicer posted:That only sounds boring because western culture has forgotten what it's like to not be in control. A well written final act of dealing with the aftermath of a (properly foreshadowed) flash flood wiping out the settlement's crops is exactly what I want to read about. This, again, is life, an endless torrent of unpleasant things happening to you that you would really like not to happen but which you have no control over and you have to react to it.

From living in lefty communes for a while I would 100% believe a post-apocalypse story where the survivors fall apart because of ideological infighting that keeps interfering with people who are actually trying to keep everyone’s needs met

Later they tried to vote him out, but he also supplied weed, so had many friends in the commune. Eventually, all capable members left, and the remaining troubled youth burned down the house in a drug-fuelled bender.

Communities that specifically try to avoid hierarchy often end up having one person who gets a lot of power by simply being popular, and then running the place into the ground over petty conflicts

For what it's worth his next commune was much better and only broke up when the majority of members started families and moved out.

Fallout oddly enough comes to mind as being more optimistic for post-apocalyptic fiction, but mostly because the best thing that can happen is the kind of society that ended up destroying itself being completely forgotten and moved on past.
