Are there any interesting sci-fi novels or games that take place in the (far) future in Antarctica with humanity being forced away from the equator by the increasing temperatures?
- thorin 4y agoIt's obviously incredibly dated now, but I used to absolutely love this game on the Amiga in the 90s - Midwinter [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwinter_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwinter_(video_game)
- totetsu 4y agoWow it’s fascinating to see what games could be imagined in the era before all the genres were decided upon. Action rpg with strategy elements.
- jameshart 4y agoMidwinter and Flames of Freedom were so far ahead of their time. It’s like Mike Singleton had a vision from the future of Just Cause or Far Cry or something and tried to build it using 90s technology.
- perhonen 4y agoIt doesn't take place in Antarctica, but The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard describes such a future - the last remnants of civilization have retreated to Greenland, and London is a flooded tropical lagoon.
- PopAlongKid 4y agoYes, A World Out Of Time by Larry Niven. "Almost all remaining life on Earth has adapted to live in Antarctica. Elsewhere life is extinct except for some evidence of biological activity in the Himalayan mountains." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_World_Out_of_Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_World_Out_of_Time
- rgarciah 4y ago"Antarctica" by Kim Stanley Robinson. Near future, but excellent prose and narrative.
