This question refers to ALL mediums, including books, films, art, video games, and others. The notion of ‘best’ is obviously subjective, but we’re curious what you consider the most valuable, insightful, inspiring, or impactful explorations of collapse.

  • Please include a short, no-spoiler description of the content (even if just copy pasta from elsewhere)
  • Please link something like an IMDB page, as some of these can be hard to find
  • Preferably no spoilers in the top level comments, only in non-top level (so if anyone wants to watch it, don't look at comments beyond the initial suggestion, if you want to avoid spoilers)

This was last asked in 2019 ; the post has a summary of recommendations and I put a new comment with what I've compiled from that and previous related posts on the sub . We are building a fictional section of our wiki, which will include responses from here and their summary (so thank you for the summaries!) I'm also hoping to include tags like show/movie/book/game/etc, catabolic/event (type of collapse), and other filters that might be helpful. This collection of content has been shared previously which is also helpful. Feel free to repeat any of the recommendations shared in these references.

If the content warrants a discussion, we could also host a watch party (if film/show) and discussion. Check out book club discussions. If you're interested in hosting a discussion on a book, movie, etc, modmail the mods! All we ask is you post announcement and discussion posts, and engage in the comments

This is the current question in our Common Collapse Questions series.
