There are some video games that can be considered as 'earth is a death world fiction' too. For instance, in the game 'Fallout', the Earth has been ravaged by nuclear war. The radiation has mutated many creatures into dangerous monsters. There are also scarce resources and a lot of hostile factions. The world is a desolate and dangerous place where death is a common fate for those who are not careful or strong enough.
There are quite a few. 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green is about two teenagers with cancer facing death. It shows their relationship and how they come to terms with their mortality. 'Beowulf' can also be considered in a way. In the epic, there are many battles where characters face death, and it explores themes of heroism in the face of death.
Sure. 'Snowpiercer' could be considered as an example in a way. The train - world in it has a complex power structure and Asian elements play important roles. Another one could be some anime like 'Code Geass' where the main character, who has Asian - like features, is in a position to change the world order.
Sure. In 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, it's sort of a post - apocalyptic world that seems to have been ended by some sort of disaster, likely nuclear or environmental. The world is a desolate place with few survivors. In 'War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells, it's an alien invasion that threatens to end the world as the Martians are much more advanced and seem to be on a path of destruction.
One example could be in a fantasy - based fanfic. Say there is a character in a world full of dark magic. Instead of avoiding the cursed areas, they actively seek them out to try and find some powerful but dangerous artifact. They know that many have died in those places, but still go, which is very much 'courting death'. Another could be in a detective - based fanfic where the detective takes on a serial killer case alone and starts to play dangerous games with the killer, putting themselves at great risk.
'Falling Man' by Don DeLillo is also a part of '9 11 fiction'. It focuses on the lives of several characters in the aftermath of the attacks, including a man who was in the towers and his struggle to come to terms with what happened. There are also other works like 'The Submission' which deal with the cultural and social implications in the post - 9/11 world.
It could mean that in a fictional context, Earth is seen as a 'death world'. Maybe it implies that Earth in this fiction is full of extreme dangers, like rampant diseases, uncontrollable natural disasters, or powerful and hostile creatures that make it seem like a place where death is a common occurrence.
In literature, some modern works are starting to explore death from the perspective of different cultures or even from the point of view of the afterlife in a more scientific - fictiony way. For instance, imagining death as a journey through different dimensions or a state where consciousness is transferred rather than simply ceasing. This is a novel way of thinking about death compared to the more traditional, earth - bound views.
One example could be some of the less - known or newbie writers in the Japanese light novel industry who are often pushed to meet strict deadlines set by publishers. However, specific names are hard to single out as it's more of an industry - wide phenomenon. But in general, new writers trying to break into the market and gain popularity quickly may be more likely to be in a 'death march' writing situation.
Yes. 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' can be considered in a way. It's set in a fictional town, but it reflects many real - world elements such as family dynamics, political power struggles, and the passage of time in a very real - world - like way. Also, 'Pride and Prejudice' is set in the real - world society of early 19th - century England, showing the social norms, class differences, and the relationship between men and women at that time.
