Isn't this similar to deep impact whereby people were chosen to hide in an underground shelter instead of evacuation?

Are you going to write any of there ? :]

Sounds a lot like a Philip K. Dick novel.

And as the above poster said: are you actually going to write any of these? I don't see why you keep posting ideas in a short story forum. I don't say this condescendingly, but how about actually fleshing something out?
