British one sounds realistic

Vander Meer’s Big Book of Sience Fiction has countless stories that run at odds to the sentiment in this post.
Agreed I'd say the most famous sci-fi don't touch on any of these but it is just a joke post I guess
Yeah I neglected to add that Vander Meer’s motivation for making the anthology was specifically to try and crush the preconception of Sci-Fi this post is a part of!
British Sci-fi: Threads
There's also When the Wind Blows, if you want to be depressed but also want an absolute banger of a soundtrack.
And the American version was The Day After (1983)
Entirely different movies with the same premise. The Day After messed me up as a kid. But Threads haunts me as an adult.
As someone who read more Honor Harrington than he should have, the American one is a bit on the nose.
I only wish the audio books were available in non-amazon sources.
I never thought to meet someone else who read those.
Guilty pleasure, really.
swedish sci-fi for some reason: 200-page rhyming epics exploring the human need for self-expression even in the face of certain doom or et but in the woods. there is no in-between.
Australians did the Seppo Nuclear Apocalypse first.
That was the whole premise behind MadMax 2.
That last one might not be sci-fi for long
Judge Dredd, Threads, Lifeforce(Kind of) certainly supports the UK sci fi Idea. French scifi is a little more like EVERYONE ,good and Bad is turned on at all times. American sci fi is spot in,i can't think of any counter evidence.
