Venison

The striking juxtaposition: Hunting and Gathering in Futurevision.

Check the similarity between the lines of Chuck Palahniuk's classic novel Fight Club, and the opening scene from Francis Lawrence's 2007 film, I Am Legend. Even completely out of context, these two pieces still provide some pretty great imagery. Read On.

“Imagine, when we call a strike and everyone refuses to work until we redistribute the wealth of the world...You’ll hunt elk through the ruins of Rockefeller Center, and dig clams next to the skeleton of the Space needle leaning at a forty-five-degree angle. We’ll paint the sky scrapers with huge totem faces and goblin tikis, and every evening whats left of mankind will retreat to empty zoos and lock itself in cages as protection against bears and big cats and wolves that pace and watch us from outside the cage bars at night...
“Imagine, Tyler said, “Stalking elk past the department store windows and stinking racks of beautiful rotting dresses and tuxedos on hangers; you’ll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life, and you’ll climb the wristthick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. Jack and the beanstalk, you’ll climb through the dripping forest canopy and the air will be so clean you’ll see tiny figures pounding corn and laying strips of venison to dry in the empty car pool lane of an abandoned superhighway stretching eight-lanes-wide and August-hot for a thousand miles.”
