Butler, and Stephen King, explore the scientific, psychological, and philosophical questions of what it means to remain human in the wake of Armageddon.

Reviews
"This harrowing reprint anthology of twenty-two apocalyptic tales reflects the stresses of contemporary international politics, with more than half published since 2000. All depict unsettling societal, physical, and psychological adaptations their authors postulate as necessary for survival after the end of the world."

"I can't help but give this collection the highest recommendation. I think this will be a cornerstone for most readers' shelves."

"The twenty-two stories in this end-of-days anthology run the gamut from nuclear devastation to environmental debacle to the Second Coming…This title belongs in most sf or short fiction collections."
