Post-apocalyptic Fiction




Post-apocalyptic fiction has been of great interest to me for a long time. I have been a fan of Terminator since I was 13, and I am also a big fan of the Fallout games, which are perhaps the most well known Post-apocalyptic survival games.

Post-apocalyptic fiction has appeared in various forms and in nearly every single medium. Rising to prominence in the 50's with the very real threat of nuclear destruction influencing various stories, each one being a commentary to varying degrees on modern day life.
One of the earliest post apocalyptic stories I've known is H.G Wells' War of the Worlds, telling the story of Martians invading and destroying earth.
