I know few will care about an unknown story by an unknown author, but goodness, I loved writing about this one! I'm proud of what I wrote. And I think my guest poster did as well.
"What’s the matter, are you old fashioned? This is the twenty-second century, the enlightened century, remember? There’s nothing a girl can’t do if she sets her mind to it."
"Three young scientists travel around the country in the 25th century after the world has been ravaged by pollution. In their hi-tech RV (called Ark II), they study the land and help out those in need."
@foolishowl I also suggest taking a look at some of the more radical formulations of the post-apocalyptic future that exist in the 70s and 80s.
Charnas' Walk to the End of the World (1974) and Motherlines (1978) come to mind. I know the first one is a bit earlier than the show... but it's a great one!
@eldadoinquieto That's not what you originally said. You said that producers now wouldn't make a TV show that would reveal the impact of climate change. There are plenty. Realistic or not, they exist.
