The Swoly Bible: The Broscience Way of Life

If it's taken literally, every man will be an injured rapist, but at least no one will do curls in the squat rack.
---

An old copy of a BT phone book yellow pages type thing.
---

Literally 1984
---

Neal Stephenson's Seveneves, a book about a literal apocalypse that nearly destroys the human race.

How ironical.

Euclid's Elements.

Not surprised though, it's apparently the second most printed book of all time second to the bible.

I think it's more likely that they develop a really fucked up morality system.
---

Halo: Cryptum

You guys have no idea how fitting this is. Literally an origin story of the human race and their fall from technological supremacy.

People take a strong moral interest in stopping "the worst human rights crimes" in Africa.
---

The big recipe book for the BBQ restaurant I manage.

not a bad bible tbh...
---

Wiseguy by Nick Pileggi (what Goodfellas is based on)

The world is run by mafia families like that planet on Star Trek.
---

I dunno what this means tbh.
---

Thomas the tank sticker book

Maybe this is what happened in snowpiercer...

Looks like a tie between A Game of Thrones, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and an autobiography of Monty Python (since they're all on the leftmost spot of their respective bookshelves).

So the future has a 66% chance of being silly and a 33% chance of being pretty much what it is already, just with swords and smokebabies.

Im at a church, so... lmao

"Story" by Robert McKee

It's my personal bible, so I can't blame them.

GoT doesn't have the smokebabies though. They might just try to adapt one of the religions seen in the book. Which, weirdly, might be the Dothraki one. I don't think the Seven get enough focus in the first book.

Wait, I'm dumb, the old gods. But they may not have trees in a post-apocalypse. Of course, they might not have horses either.

Bad Moon Rising.

Well, that'd be something.

---

Of The People
A History of the United States, Volume 1: To 1877
Second Edition, Oxford University Press

.... Maybe the apocalypse isnt that bad?

edit: technically a game informer magazine is closer, which would make for a more interesting apocalypse considering the cover of it features Uncharted: Lost Legacy. But it's not a book.
---

The American Heritage Dictionary

Hmm. Not the worst I suppose

I hope they get married the same way Dalinar did.

The nearest book to me is the German edition of "American Football Rules and Interpretations for 2018".

Post-apocalyptic people will be chanting "Defense Passbehinderung, fnfzehn Meter Strafe, automatischer neuer erster Versuch".
