There's hope for all the fanboys in the world...

...and her name is Meghann Marco. Not only is she smart, witty and pretty, she's also the author of Field Guide to the Apocalypse: Movie Survival Skills for the End of the World. How can you resist a face like this:



An an author bio that goes like this:

"Meghann Marco grew up outside of Chicago, in a loving family environment relatively free from dysfunction. Were it not for hearing the words penis breath in the movie E.T., she would have probably turned out all right.
"I thank God daily that future generations will be spared the gratuitous physical violence of Han Solo shooting first," the traumatized author says.
Meghann invites fans to stay tuned for Field Guide to the Apocalypse: Special Edition, in which the word fuck will be replaced with little pictures of walkie-talkies.
This is her first book."

But all that's besides the point. If you survived an apocalyptic event in your neighborhood this book will be your bible because it isn't the event itself that's the problem, but surviving the aftermath. It will be you against them...



Ms Marco goes into detail on aspects of survival gleaned from SF films, both good and bad, extoling the virtues of preposterous movie science. Examples include how to convert a car to run on bathtub gin and how to synthesize a species-saving vaccine from your own mucus. There's also how to conceal free will and how to recognize a dream world. And if you want to have it all, there's how to be a warlord. Great fun for all you Mad Max wannabees!
