Famine, Death, War, and Pestilence the Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse, the harbingers of Armageddon these are our guides
through the Wastelands.
From the Book of Revelation to "The Road Warrior," from "A
Canticle for Leibowitz" to "The Road," storytellers have long
imagined the end of the world, weaving eschatological tales of
catastrophe, chaos, and calamity. In doing so, these visionary
authors have addressed one of the most challenging and enduring
themes of imaginative fiction: the nature of life in the aftermath
of total societal collapse.
Gathering together the best postapocalyptic literature of the
last two decades from many of today s most renowned authors of
speculative fiction including George R. R. Martin, Gene Wolfe,
Orson Scott Card, Carol Emshwiller, Jonathan Lethem, Octavia E.
Butler, and Stephen King" Wastelands" explores the scientific,
psychological, and philosophical questions of what it means to
remain human in the wake of Armageddon. Whether the end of the
world comes through nuclear war, ecological disaster, or
cosmological cataclysm, these are tales of survivors, in some cases
struggling to rebuild the society that was, in others, merely
surviving, scrounging for food in depopulated ruins and defending
themselves against monsters, mutants, and marauders.
"Wastelands" delves into this bleak landscape, uncovering the
raw human emotion and heart-pounding thrills at the genre s
core."
