These days, I find myself a little obsessed with survival guides. Whether it’s nuclear war, climate collapse, or robot dogs chasing us through ruined cities, we are constantly inventing ways to outlive the very disasters we’ve set in motion. There’s something both absurd and fascinating in this, our manuals for survival read like instructions for escaping ourselves. These guides reflect not only our fears of the future but also the strange hope that, no matter how catastrophic things become, there will always be a way through.
