Should I Leave New York?
A playful calculator turns your NYC arrival year, borough, and media preferences into a record of fictional disasters you might have endured.
- For
- New Yorkers with a taste for fictional disaster
- Worth noticing
- It counts release or publication years, not in-story dates, and labels borough exposure as an editorial estimate.
Field notes
The calculator treats the chosen arrival year as an inclusive start date and orders fictional incidents by release or publication year, not story chronology. Filters cover borough, six media types, and whether threats occurred, were averted, are alternate or future scenarios, or show aftermath. The archive says borough exposure is an editorial estimate and that coverage is still expanding. It deduplicates continuous crises within an adaptation while counting remakes separately.
