Why does science fiction keep returning to cockroaches?

From Wall-E to Men in Black, Blade Runner, Kafka’s Metamorphosis, and post-apocalyptic fiction, cockroaches are rarely just insects. They represent survival, adaptation, hidden systems, decay, and one uncomfortable idea: humanity may not be as permanent as it thinks.

In this episode of Kridious Cafe, we explore 5 reasons science fiction is obsessed with cockroaches - with humour, literature, dystopia, cyberpunk, and a little satire on the absurdity of modern civilisation.

This is not a biology lecture.

This is a sci-fi autopsy of humanity’s ego.

If you enjoy science fiction, literature, internet culture, dystopian symbolism, and strange ideas that make you laugh first and think later, this one is for you.

Welcome to Kridious Cafe.
