Examples Of Post Apocalyptic Future

One of my favorite post-apocalyptic visions of the future is found in the new TV series The 100. The 100 is set 97 years after the world had been reduced to rubble due to nuclear war. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth 's orbit prior to the war. Once supplies run low on the space craft, the survivor’s hands are forced to send 100 juvenile delinquents to the surface of the Earth to see if it can sustain human life once more. In a crash landing on Earth, communication is lost and the 100 juvenile criminals are now on their own fending for a way to survive. Similar to the Age of Exploration in the 15th century, these kids explore the unknown land, discover that they 're not the only ones there and encounter many obstacles along the way. They eventually are put in a difficult situation which involves unanimously choosing hostility or peace to bas their new society off of. Something must be done for the "100" not to be killed and the history of mankind 's return to earth will be effected by that decision. This TV series goes through the different aspects of surviving in a foreign land and the building of a new human civilization. …show more content…
