The story proposes dire circumstances for the human race. If the structure of modern civilization breaks down in a similar way to the outcome of nuclear war then high casualty numbers are to be expected.
There are people who advocate a smaller population. Even conspiracy theorists accusing the CIA and NSA of introducing AIDS and Ebola into the population. There is no shortage of military conflict around the world. The Defence Industries thrive as their $multi billion corporations influence governments.
Zombies, alien invasion, hurtling asteroids immune to nuclear missiles are an increasing feature of fiction and Hollywood. The teenage consumer is particularly interested in vampires and zombies. It's almost as if the fiction intends to force a reality of doom despair and breakdown of the status quo. Is our race so bored?
Other conspiracy lovers indicate a New World Order overseeing our development. No cure for cancer, influenza, pernicious malaria, the common cold? I read there are $32 trillion lying offshore waiting to re-enter the markets. There are so many zeros on currencies we should be in the Weimar republic.
Africa. Dominated by warlords and corrupt politicians, the continent is a treasure trove of resources and wealth. Yet we have charity muggers and shops in our High Streets asking for more. Africa could be repaired and made to stand on its own feet in a matter of a few years.
The point? Taylor's Europe and England recovery is thwarted. The underclass people left behind to fend after the evacuation symbolize this syndrome. Strife is a political decision.
Next. What inspires the material elements of the story. Making no claim to predict sea level rise. Someone said 'Fill a glass with ice cubes, it doesn't spill over when it melts.'
A swedish scientist announced recently that the Maldive sea levels had not changed in 50 years; he wasn't allowed to publish the results locally. I don't want sea levels to rise but it makes for a convincing threat to the breakdown of society. In other words, a good story.
