Mary Shelley’s novel is often seen as the very first post-apocalyptic story. However, the idea of what happens after a global disaster has evolved over the years, especially with changes in technology.

This week marks the 47th anniversary of its release on April 12, 1979.

It was heartbreaking to see, and it made me realize how complicated being a hero can be.
