A Disaster Guide from TV and Cinema: Preparing for the Global Blackout

Bag om A Disaster Guide from TV and Cinema: Preparing for the Global Blackout

Dead phones, chaos in hospitals, looming nuclear meltdowns: For years, experts all over the world have been warning of a widespread power blackout-and the devastating consequences for society as a whole. However, just as before the Covid-19 pandemic, politicians and the public are hardly aware of the far-reaching risks: A blackout would catch us almost completely unprepared.As for other (supposedly improbable) disruptive events, disaster movies and sci-fi series have long shown what would happen if modern society were to lose its lifeblood. Denis Newiak looks into those filmic fictions for answers to pressing questions:How can we prepare ourselves for the dramatic consequences of such a crisis? And can the collapse of modernity still be stopped?
