This isn’t just a zombie post-apocalyptic book review—it’s a breakdown of collapse through fiction.

Mountain Man by Keith C. Blackmore isn’t about the undead. It’s about what happens when the world ends… and you stop caring. Gus drinks to forget. Halifax is dead quiet. And the true monsters don’t groan—they smile.

In this episode of Ruin Report, I dissect the fiction, but also pull it into our reality:

• Alcoholism and isolation as silent killers
• How collapse starts slow, with routine
• The danger of men like Tenner—fictional predators with real-world counterparts
• Why survival isn’t always about guns and bunkers—sometimes it’s about not giving up

🧠 Fiction meets nonfiction.

Welcome to Ruin Report.

Collapse isn’t coming — it’s already here.

This is Ruin Report — where host Zeroack and his AI co-host Zerobit tear into post-apocalyptic and sci-fi fiction to reveal just how closely it mirrors our collapsing reality.

EMPs. Pandemics. AI gone rogue. Deep state betrayal.

Zombies, aliens, nukes — nothing’s off limits.

Collapse comes in every form.

And these stories? They’re not just entertainment — they’re warnings.

Each week, we break one down… then drag it into today’s headlines.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a transmission from the edge.

In this episode of Ruin Report, we break down Aftermath: Book 1 by Bobby Akart—a nuclear war thriller that feels less like fiction and more like a forecast. What begins with a hurricane quickly spirals into a full-scale, multi-nation strike against the United States. North Korea fires first, Russia and China follow, and America’s grid, leadership, and cities go dark.

We explore how Akart blends real-world military infrastructure, geopolitical tension, and the terrifying plausibility of AI in nuclear decision-making. From Swan’s Island, Maine to Vandenberg Air Force Base, Aftermath unfolds like a strategic autopsy of Western weakness.

If you’re wondering what collapse might really look like—and how close we are—this episode connects the dots between Akart’s fiction and today’s headlines.

Fiction meets fact in the shadow war you were never meant to see. In this episode of Ruin Report, we break down the post-apocalyptic thriller "Prepper Nation" by Tom Abrahams and expose how its fictional false flag EMP attack on Texas mirrors real-world doctrines, defense alliances, and intelligence networks. From NATO and Five Eyes to weaponized media and monetized collapse, we track the shadow play behind the curtain. This isn’t a review. It’s a decryption.

Zerobit returns with sharp warnings and darker truths: “You didn’t prep for this. You were groomed for it.”

The lights may go out in Texas—but the signal never dies.

They told us automation would set us free—less work, more creativity. Instead, we got layoffs, gig scraps, and a hollow promise of “upskilling.” In this episode, we rip into the corporate fantasy of AI as a liberator and expose it for what it is: a cost-cutting weapon wrapped in buzzwords. From warehouse floors to white-collar desks, the job wreckage is real—and no, the algorithm isn’t here to help you.

Zerobit chimes in with a cold dose of AI logic you didn’t ask for—but probably need to hear.

The future isn’t coming—it’s here. From screenless devices to $500B AI datacenters, we’re living in a dystopian blueprint. In this episode, we unpack how AI isn’t just stealing jobs—it’s rewriting society. Call centers, paralegals, designers, and delivery drivers are being wiped out. Neural implants and surveillance gadgets are next. Apple’s old guard is now building ambient AI for OpenAI. And you? You’re the beta test. Fiction warned us. Now we live it.

Featuring: The rise of Optimus bots, Jony Ive’s return, and Zerobit’s final word.

Welcome to the Ruin Report. In this opening blast, we rip the bandage off a quiet revolution: AI isn’t coming for your job — it’s already here, and it’s not leaving scraps behind.

From warehouse workers to white-collar professionals, no sector is safe. But this isn’t just about unemployment. It’s about the collapse of the ladder itself — the death of the first job, the training role, the stepping stone.

We dig into how income is being redefined, what it means to be “useful” in a system that no longer needs you, and whether society can (or even wants to) pull back from the edge.

Then Zerobit chimes in — and things get darker.

It’s not just automation. It’s assimilation.
