Full Description
From the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh to Norse prophecies of Ragnarok to the
Revelations of Saint John to Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and any
number of fictional zombie Armageddons and the dystopic world of The Hunger
Games, we have always wondered what will happen after the world as we know
it ends. No matter what the doomsday scenario — cataclysmic climate
change, political chaos, societal collapse, nuclear war, pestilence, or so many
other dreaded variations — we inevitably believe that even though the
world perishes, some portion of humankind will live on. Such stories involve
death and disaster, but they are also tales of rebirth and survival. Grim or
triumphant, these outstanding, post-apocalyptic stories selected from the best
of those published in the tumultuous last decade allow us to consider what life
will be like after the end.
