Re: Why are there so many post-apocalypses

Misery porn is considered more mature, despite being easier to write, than writing competence porn or idealism. If you don't think writing a utopia is hard or complex, try it. It is easier to write people being mopey and miserable. And it lets the author's stand in character, be super competent as they put the rest of the world to rights in the writer's personal power fantasy.

It’s weird but understandable that writing dystopian fiction is so much easier than the alternative these days. From about the late 19th century to the 20s, utopia fiction was the most common speculative fiction. Whether it was early sci-fi, to basically just attempts at non-fiction predictions of the future that seemed both feasible and whimsically optimistic for the time. It seems that it was much easier to write utopia at that time than any other time in history.

That really says a lot that it didn’t even take 2 decades for dystopia fiction to become incredibly prevalent and realistic.
