Synopsis

Please read the preface before starting this book! This is not an ordinary novel. It is deeply depressing and places extreme emphasis on detail. It is practical and hardcore. Please decide whether to continue based on your own interests and priorities, so you can save your precious time. This book is divided into two parts, “An Introduction to the Apocalypse” and “Advanced Studies of the Apocalypse.” The first focuses on material matters, objective facts, and details, while the second explores human nature. There is no protagonist or plot. It takes the form of essays and argumentative writing. If you decide to read it, be sure to think as you go (you may even need to do things yourself). Don’t skim, or you’ll feel that you can’t understand it at all. I wrote the whole piece first, then divided it into chapters of about two thousand characters each, so the breaks between chapters have no particular meaning. Please don’t give them any thought. (If a chapter suddenly ends and you have to wait for the next one, use that time to consider the question I raised. The more you think, the better your chances of surviving the apocalypse.) There will definitely be parts that completely contradict your worldview. Please don’t reject them immediately. Read them through, then try looking at the world from a new perspective and point of view. Perhaps that will inspire a new stage in your own life. Reading this requires at least a middle-school understanding of the natural sciences. The sections on human nature require at least thirty years of life experience. Even if you meet both conditions, you will still need to look up the terms I mention from time to time. Some views may be impossible to understand or tolerate. Come back to them in a few years, and you’ll understand what I mean.

No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.

A Dark Horse in Apocalypse Survival: Gritty, Smart, and Highly Recommended

Looking for books similar to Black Rain 2027. This book has no cheat powers and is completely grounded. It's full of tests of human nature and social intricacies, and everything feels like it could really happen. Every character feels alive. The protagonist is low-key, humane, highly intelligent, and socially savvy. The delicate writing really holds it all together.
