The Post-Apocalypse (Moral and Otherwise)

Which is the worse fate for the world of the future,
the murderous rampage of this guy...
I watched The Road Warrior the other day at about four in the morning (what better way to get back to sleep than watching guys in leather speedos and goalie masks trying to kill Mel Gibson, am I right?).  I’ve also picked up a couple of novellas recently which are of the same genre (the so called “post-apocalyptic[1]”), and another story I’ve been reading (and playing, as the story is conveyed via computer game) that would be classified as “Cyber-punk.” During this whirlwind engagement with bleak visions of the future, an interesting way to put it into at least structural perspective occurred to me. I will now share it with you. May it aid you should you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
