What happens after The End? As social animals, humans can only be traveling loners for so long, we naturally form communities. These eighteen post-apocalyptic tales focus on the phoenix, not the ashes. After the death of a world, you start to consider the things that really matter: transportation woes, seeking family, personal freedom, social conventions, defining love and hope, and making the best of new worlds.
