SuitabookHow to Survive an Apocalypse
Coby Coonradt and Cameron Hardy, illustrated by Victoria Stebleva
- Reading
- Read selected sections together rather than assuming it must be read straight through. Pause after a practical topic to discuss what seems realistic, and separately explore how humour changes the imagined dangers.
- Themes
- Practical survival knowledge: The guide presents practical activities in an imagined post-apocalyptic setting. Its informational angle may invite discussion about which advice applies outside fictional disaster scenarios.
- Imagined catastrophe: The book uses disaster scenarios as settings for survival guidance. The scenarios frame factual-seeming preparation through speculative and fantastical situations.
- Humour and visual presentation: The book presents its subject with humour, a modern voice and cool, cartoony illustrations. This presentation appears designed to make an unusual non-fiction topic lively and approachable.
- Worth knowing
- The book includes disaster imagery, first aid, battling beasts and defeating demons. Its humorous presentation may soften these elements, but the balance between practical information and fantasy combat is worth noticing.
