This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. Works of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, for example, is dystopian fiction, not apocalyptic fiction. Apocalyptic fiction is not the same as fiction that provides visions of a dystopian future. For example, Armageddon and Deep Impact are considered disaster films and not apocalyptic fiction because, although Earth or humankind are terribly threatened, in the end they manage to avoid destruction. A threat of an apocalypse does not make a piece of fiction apocalyptic. Īpocalyptic fiction does not portray catastrophes, or disasters, or near-disasters that do not result in apocalypse.
Apocalypticism is the religious belief that there will be an apocalypse, a term which originally referred to a revelation of God's will, but now usually refers to belief that the world will come to an end very soon, even within one's own lifetime. The time frame may be immediately after the catastrophe, focusing on the travails or psychology of survivors, or considerably later, often including the theme that the existence of pre-catastrophe civilization has been forgotten (or mythologized).Īpocalypse is a Greek word referring to the end of the world. Post-apocalyptic fiction is set in a world or civilization after such a disaster.
