So many of the post-apocalyptic books and movies focus on
the failure of modern technology, or in the case of things like The
Matrix, its ability to turn on its creators. This is a very common trope in
much of the post apocalypse literature as well as
movies.
One of the other themes, not necessarily discussed
at length in the article, is the dependence on human character and the choices that
humans make for good or for evil. The humans that are left after whichever catastrophe
occurs are often broken into factions or are at least confronted with choices that force
them to think deeply about morality and whether it exists in the bleak worlds created in
post-apocalypse fiction or film.
