The Second Deluge

Before you is the grandfather of modern end-of-the-world blockbusters, echoing films like Don't Look Up (2021) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004). The main character, a brilliant scientist and conservative madman Cosmo Versál, single-handedly tries to save humanity from imminent doom. Having predicted Earth's collision with a cosmic watery nebula, he builds a modern-day ark and watches entire continents vanish into the depths of the sea. Yet, this does not trouble him—he dreams of a brave new world where politicians, capitalists, and other "scum" of society are sleeping with the fishes once and for all.
Be aware that the amount of crazy ideas here, like eugenics, exceeds all expectations but, all in all, it strangely resembles the masterplans of contemporary techno-elites such as Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. And who knows, it may have even served as an indirect source of inspiration for their own grand visions?
