Lithub's 50 Greatest Apocalyptic Novels

"The end of the world is never really the end of the world—at least not in fiction. After all, someone must survive to tell the tale. And what tales they are. Humans have been pondering the end of existence for as long as we've been aware of it (probably, I mean, I wasn't there), and as a result we have a rich collection of apocalypse and post-apocalypse literature to read during our planet's senescence."
