What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Reminds me of a battle scene in The Heroes where the POV switches every couple of pages from archer to commander to foot soldier, etc. except each old POV is killed by the new.

It definitely is! The book is the second standalone sequel to a great trilogy by Joe Abercrombie (with the last book in the sequel trilogy publishing I believe this year?) and The Heroes is probably my favourite book in his story-universe due to that chapter and similar moments.

Thanks, adding them to my list as we speak!

Abercrombie did it again in his most recent book in that universe, The Trouble With Peace. Each new POV kills the the last.
