As much as I love post apocalypse stuff where you pick up tin cans and turn them into guns and the world feels empty or dead I think its really neat that Prarie Song is less "dead" than "broken" but healing, because people just kept on living
Its a neat parallel of the characters and themes about trauma and healing, its just a really good use of setting I think, its just neat
You can read Prarie Song here fyi https://prairiesongserial.com/
Its technically a post-post apocalypse because of it I guess but idk its just neat to me that no one even really thinks about like what came before because they're all too busy with their own lives where a lot of post apocalypse stuff is about sorting through what came before
Whereas like Fallout say is about sorting through people who are long dead and picking up from there Prarie Song just presents one where everyone has picked up and shaken as much dust off as they can
Just neat to me, the way that while some monolithic structures (like the catholic church or capitalism as a system) have largely remained everything else is so divorced from the past I guess
Idk just loose ramblings about a really good serial you should read if you like that kinda thing, this isn't a coherent analysis, I just have "getting ready for work" thoughts
