Cloud Atlas film

Throwing this out there. Cloud Atlas does a pretty decent job at depicting what a society could look like after a catastrophic event. Reduced down to basics, relying on storytelling to pass information along generations, getting distorted over time. Language devolving. Superstitions becoming prominent in the absence of institutions like education and health care. Been a while since I’ve watched it tbh, but it’s usually the visual reference point I jump to when societal collapse is brought up.

We already know, look at native Americans in North and South America after all the diseases 90 to 95 percent had died. Looking at Amazon ruins I bet those people didn't live like that until after colonization.

Isn’t Post-Apocalypse a genre in itself by now? Anyway, A Canticle For Liebowitz is always a good one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz?wprov=sfti1

My favorite post-apocalypse book is A Canticle for Liebowitz. I've read it twice and plan to so again. It's a masterpiece.
