The popular appeal of the end of the world genre is clear in movies, novels, and television shows. Evenour political debates over global warming, nuclear threats, and pandemic disease reflect a concern about the possibility of such events. This popular fascination is really a fascination with survival: how can we come out alive? And what would we do next?The end of the world is not about species death, but about beginning again. This book uses postapocalyptic fiction as a terrain for thinking about the state of nature: the hypothetical fiction that is the driving force behind the social contract. The first half of the book examines novels that tell the story of the move from the state of nature to civil society through a Hobbesian, a Lockean, or a Rousseauian lens, including Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank, Malevil by Robert Merle, and Into the Forest by Jean Hegland. The latter half of the book examines Octavia Butler's postapocalyptic Parable series in which a new kind of social contract emerges, one built on the fact of human dependence and vulnerability."@en . .

"Claire Curtis relaciona la literatura postapocalíptica con el pensamiento de los grandes de la filosofía política moderna, mostrando nuevas visiones que aportan otras posibilidades políticas en esta época de crisis recurrentes. Su libro muestra como la mayoría de la literatura postapocalíptica y de desastres sigue el guión del contrato social establecido por Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau y Rawls. Esta perspectiva nos permite ver de forma distinta los logros y desaciertos de estos pensadores. Por último, Claire Curtis analiza el libro \"Parables\" de Octavia Bultler donde se sugieren nuevas formas de reconceptualizar el contrato social." . . . . . . "Electronic books"@en .
