Prepper Fiction Reveals a Dark Truth About American Virtues
Interesting take on some aspects of prepper/survivalist fiction.
Not sure I agree with the separation of the genres, but some of the tropes ring true.
An interesting question (to me) is hypothesizing on the probability of the tropes in real life SHTF situations. I personally think it depends on the people and the visibility of the "light at the end of the tunnel" as to whether people would act one way or another, with people pulling together being more likely if the emergency was short termed and/or help was on the way (but delayed).
