"APOCALYPSE WOW" or "CAN WE STOP ROLEPLAYING REVELATIONS PLEASE?"
When Authors write Apocalyptic Books, can they predict Apocalyptic Futures?
TFW My Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Series is now a Documentary:
As the world spirals into Chaos, the inevitable “Who’da thunkit” moment arrives, accompanied by the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth from the usual suspects. But another phenomenon is unveiling itself from the Halls of DOOM, as a collective 'I told you so” seeps from rightfully indignant Apocalypse Authors.
Now, I am not alone in my protestations that my series was supposed to be Science *FICTION*, not Science *FACT*. Yet here I am wondering if I really need to write these next few chapters just so The Powers That Be won’t use WATCHER of the DAMNED as a manual for disaster…
I would be honored, however, if my Series is used as a manual for the New Revolution. I will stash some physical copies away to survive the coming Swarmageddon.
AUTHORS: Did YOUR Book Predict the Future? Perhaps it’s not Prophecy, but works of Fiction can certainly become prophetic…
You're in good company. 1984 wasn't meant as an instructional manual, but TPTB have used it as such.
They’ve done it before, RH. “The Road.” I see no reason why your fiction shouldn’t have a slice of Cormac McCarthy’s acclaim. Plus, the incredible record of Michel de Notre Dame many of his “Centuries” have apparently predicted the extinction of the Guises, the French Revolution, beheading Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette, Napoleon’s rise, The Battle of Waterloo, Battle of Sedan, Third Battle of the Somme, The Russian Revolution, the Execution of the Royal Romanov Family, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Killing JFK, Fall of the USSR, Fall of the Twin Towers using the same quatrains to predict many of those events.
