World Without US

From the always indispensable Cool Tools, comes a link to The World Without Us, an examination of post-human future. But not "post-human" as in "we are all hot cyborgs downloading our consciousness between flesh-shells", but "Hmm, everybody seems to have the same hacking wet cought ..." The raccoon biologists even now work in their lonely scavenged laboratories to bring about the Flupocalypse...

Be sure to go all the way down on the Multimedia page to see the multiple timelines of post-human New York illustrated by Kenn Brown of mondolithic.com. As chunks of the Doomed Pulp Novel are set in New York several decades after The Very Bad Thing occurs, I'm finding this marvelous background material.
