Australia has been a frequent choice as the location for narratives
about the end of the world in science fiction and speculative
works, ranging from pre-colonial apocalyptic maps to key literary
works from the last fifty years. This critical volume explores the
role of Australia in both apocalyptic literature and film. Topics
covered include On the Beach and Mad Max, as well as children's
literature, Indigenous writing, and cyberpunk. The text explores
how apocalypse is used to undermine complacency, foretell
environmental disasters, critique colonization, and act as a
protest for minority groups. Australian apocalypse imagines
Australia at the ends of the world, geographically and
psychologically, but also proposes spaces of hope for the future.]
