The idea of fungi evolving to infect humans and resulting in apocalypse underpins the premise of the famous game and TV series “The Last of Us”
Given the series’ critical acclaim and popularity, I wonder if it also demonstrates potential for engaging the public with this topic through mainstream popular media.
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that. There was a lot of media buzz about whether the events of the show could really happen at the time of its airing. This piece by Yale is supposed to sound reassuring, but it just… doesn’t. :/
Among other things, the natural-atrocity take on zombies is what got me in love with the TV series; depressed by them but interested in this new aesthetic of dangerous nature globally killing human civilization, think overgrown moss on broken subways. I can indeed see things like it motivating EA people to prevent such things, very much involved with visions of such a world. 🪸
