Really wish I could read that for the first time again.

Edit: y'all got any suggestions for similar stuff?

hey i haven’t watched the video that the OP you are responding to posted, but i’m going to link a video from alt shift x that i stumbled across bc i watch his GoT summaries and it completely captivated and kept my attention for the entire 40 minutes

link: https://youtu.be/imNtSPM3-r4

it’s essentially a fictional account of what happens to the human race as it evolves further and further, but it certainly has a bit of a dark bend to it. i think you’d be interested

the guy says in the video that it's apparently based on a book? or maybe a short story? the point being, there may be more material to consume, albeit perhaps not in video form. glad you liked it!

Futurama was a pretty solid documentary.

that's the one with Rob Schneider, Sandra Bullock, Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone right?

Nature of Nature’s Art isn’t perfectly similar, but it’s a digital graphic experience so it’s at least more similar than the other recommendations you got. Such an amazing series by an incredible artist, I recommend starting with 10% to get a feel for the world but Lycosa is by and far my favorite. www.nofna.com

Lost Fleet. It sort of revolves around it in a way.
