Preventability and the Human Reaction to Apocalypses

Disaster is inevitable. Or at least, that’s what the niche genre of apocalyptic science fiction drills in to our heads. This narrative is a study of the apocalypses depicted in both modern and older Science Fiction texts, analyzed based on their preventability, cause, and the human reaction to the post-apocalypse. In the light of current technological progress, these themes are of increasing value to a humanity that stands ready and able to trigger many of these scientific horrors.
