m. c. de marco: To invent new life and new civilizations...

Via a mailing list: last month at Slate, Josh Levin spent a week contemplating the end of America. The high point of the week was this Choose Your Own Apocalypse grid (http://sdn.slate.com/features/endofamerica/default.htm) featuring 144 apocalyptic and semi-apocalyptic endings. Readers' top five choices started from Loose Nukes and went down from there.

Update

Though the grid is down, the enumerated list can be found in the Wayback Machine.
