Journal Entry: Does it remind me of other texts, movies, songs? T.V. Shows? Why?

When I read the book, the first thing that it reminded me of was of The 100.

The 100 is a TV show about how a nuclear Armageddon destroys civilization on Earth and that the only survivors are those on the 12 international space stations in orbit at the time. The show doesn't have Androids or anything like that but when the space stations start running out of oxygen , they send down 100 juvenile prisoners to earth to see if they're able to live down there. The main character in the show sees a deer down on earth, but forgetting about how the nuclear radiation would have mutated it's genes, she sees it's face and is terrified, for the fact that it was actually 2 faces fused together(*). This book reminds me of The 100 because in both plots, the humans were sent to live in space (either on another planet, or in space stations) and for both, majority of the animals have gone extinct. Both plots are dystopian, which also links them.

(*I've included a picture of the deer*)
