Gosh you remember that? In this story the world is pretty empty I think - and they are far enough away for people not to impact on them much. The shortage of people sounds like bliss to me.
Oh, I've heard of the Earth Abides but I haven't read it! I must do!!! Have you read EM Forster's short story from 1901 'The Machine Stops'?
By the way, have you watched 'The Last of Us' yet? Id be interested to know what you think. It's quite HBO, quite American - but it's got a depth to it that suprised me, though I had to wait til Episode 5 for it to all fall into place. And I do love Pablo Pascal - I actually am beginning to quite rate him as an actor.
What else have you been watching, my friend?
I most certainly do. That's what my impression of you as a skilled fiction writer is based on - which Iḿ about to amend to skilled post-apocalyptic fiction writer!
The Machine Stops by EM Forster, gotta check it out. The name rings a bell, but I can't associate it with anything. Though I may realize I've read it already, hehehe!
I was not going to bother with The Last of Us until they either finished their final season or decided that they wouldn't bother renewing it. (You never know with streaming these days). But my last WS guest mentioned at, and so we talked about it, and as a results I have six episodes on my machine now.
As for other series, we've been doing the whole Sex and the City saga. Now we've arrived at The Carrie Diaries, a two-season teen series, a prequel to the show set in the '80s, which surprisingly I enjoy quite a bit.
