Category:Post-Apocalyptic

Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic fiction is a subgenre of science fiction in which the Earth's (or another planet's) civilization is collapsing or has collapsed. The apocalypse event may be climatic, such as runaway climate change; astronomical, an impact event; destructive, nuclear holocaust or resource depletion; medical, a pandemic, whether natural or human-caused; end time, such as the Last Judgment, Second Coming or Ragnarök; or any other scenario in which the outcome is apocalyptic, such as a zombie apocalypse, cybernetic revolt, technological singularity, dysgenics or alien invasion.

These events aren't innately dark ones, but they will usually be dark stories. However, many other types of tones can be derived from Post-Apocalyptic worlds. Such as Wall-E being a post-apocalyptic story, but an overall family-friendly movie.

A very popular example of Post-Apocalyptic works are normally zombie movies, where a zombie outbreak has brought humanity to the brink of collapse.
