The Inevitable Robot Apocalypse

I won’t lie. I am fascinated by dystopias. Camus’ The Plague, Orwell’s 1984, hell, 1980s television-produced The Day After Tomorrow. Love ‘m. Call me sadistic, but it is true. Heck, even the Bible has a messed up version of the future, pulled out of a toga-wearing preacher’s nightmares: “Revelations.”

Listen and hypothetically learn. Here are my favorite simulations and/or guides of and to the inevitable obliteration of humanity – on the net.

Alien Invasion: WHAM! SPLODE! QUASH!

Meteoroid Strike: BAM!

Thermonuclear War: SQUAL!

Zombies Outbreak: ZAM! DAMN!

Robot Uprisings: ZIP!

Epidemic: POP!

Jesus: WHOOP!

Awesome: GOSH!

Also, three E’s.

Exit Mundi: DUTCH!

The Economist: STAUNCH!

Ebaum’s World: FRANCH!
