Me in ArtsHub on post-apocalyptic cinema, 90s nostalgia, Francis Fukuyama, Tamagotchis, Flight of the Navigator, and what happens when we can't imagine a future worth living in.

(And yes "queue Aerosmith" should obviously be "cue Aerosmith", the little imperfections are all part of my rustic charm)
Where did the future go? Our obsession with dystopias shows a real failure of imagination
Post-apocalypse stories like Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars have a long history – but lately they've been changing.

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!
