I love movies Maze Runner Scorch Trials, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, or games like Horizon Zero Dawn as nature just reclaims everything it makes for an interesting/appealing backdrop or overgrown mixed with the industrial remnants of our civilizations or starkly new technologies it would be amazing to see IRL but also daunting.

Gary Indiana shows us what a town looks like when nature starts to take it back.

There was actually a very good documentary series a few years back on exactly this subject: “Life after People.”

I wanted to write a post apocalypse story set far on the future after the collapse, and a good amount of the research seemed to indicate that while the past had monuments of solid rock that lasted tens of thousands of years, today's modern structures wouldn't last nearly as well.

Basically, it seems, in 5, 000 years with no human upkeep, there's going to be little to no evidence of our modern civilization. Not on the surface. Maybe big things like mines and solid stone monuments, but we need to remember that a lot of what we have today has been dug up and restored.

Reminds me of Chernobyl and how the plants and animals came back.

Part of the frustration with the climate impact that we have is the very fact that it's such a short period of time.

The first "practical" power plant was only in 1882 (Edison); It was not until 1948 that 50%+ of U.S. homes had Air C. All these inventions are so young in our human history, yet we compromise so much of our world for them. We are still miserable on a large scale 😅

Well, “Horizon: Zero Dawn” had a good take on that 🙂 And even the lockdown has shown how nature takes the ground back when given the slightest opportunity.

It's funny how in that "fraction" of time of the entire lifespan we have completely ruined Earth

A world without humanity is a world that doesn't matter, by definition. There can be no value to a thing (ecosystem, product, etc) without a PERSON to discover value in it.

I love a woman who thinks about everything and anything. This eliminates selfishness and center-ism

There are many abandoned towns and cities around the world - granted... mainly after major disasters. That we can analyse for what happens. Even Pripryat and it's dangerous hot spots of radiation been taken over by nature. Then there are dying neighbourhoods in many cities, which are just being left for nature because of economic reasons.

You only need to leave an empty asphalt or concrete strip for few years until nature takes it over and few more until it starts to break down.

The manga Dr.Stone has some great answer for this question, I think the author got a really good interpretation

[levonteconrad]
