"Post-Apocalyptic" refers to a genre of fiction that explores life after a catastrophic event, such as a nuclear war, natural disaster, or pandemic. In these narratives, society has collapsed, and survivors must navigate a world filled with danger, scarcity, and often hostile environments. Common themes include survival, human resilience, and the struggle to rebuild civilization. This genre often features desolate landscapes, abandoned cities, and remnants of technology. Characters may encounter mutated creatures, rogue factions, or remnants of the old world, such as technology or government. Popular examples include films like Mad Max and books like The Road.
