A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I don't really think that the author of this book believes the world will "end" this soon but anyways. This is a post apocalyptic dystopia that sets it's scene in Moscow 2033:
the book metro 2033

spoiler about the metro seriesIn the later books it kinda seems like that it's only Russia that has been nuked out of existence so really the world hasn't ended. But if you just read the first book you would not get to know that
