It was sad when it was all over in the book 1984.
Although, can this not be-set man as a warning of the times we live in.
You know?
I am not obsessed with the idea of a post-apocalyptic world but it is still fascinating. Nothing is left and more often times than not there are remnants of a nuke. The world is tattered and there is always a lack of resources.
Water is always hard to come by and so is the idea of finding somewhere safe. Raiders always turn the damn corner hunting for blood. Violence is always present in a dog eat dog, fight for survival environment, kill the other man to win foreboding wasteland.
In fact, I watched a movie last night that relates to this conversation.
Strap a 1957 guitar on a hero's back and what do you get? Wait, a more accurate description is craft a Buddy Holly look alike with the horn rimmed glasses, yeah the big black ones. Ah wait there's more and by more it is cooler than that.
Now picture all this awesomeness with a white samurai sword. You have now built up a hero named the Six String Samurai.
Kick ass!
1984 hit the readers with a very dark and bleak outlook of the times. The main character Winston was really neat but it was sad.....
To be continued.....
