Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction is a subgenre of science fiction, science fantasy or horror fiction literature in which the Earth's technological civilization is collapsing or has collapsed.

The apocalypse event may be climatic, such as runaway climate change; natural, such as an impact event; man-made, such as nuclear warfare; medical, such as a plague or virus, whether natural or man-made; or imaginative, such as zombie apocalypse or alien invasion.

The story may involve attempts to prevent an apocalypse event, deal with the impact and consequences of the event itself, or it may be post-apocalyptic, set after the event.

The time frame may be immediately after the catastrophe, focusing on the travails or psychology of survivors, the way to maintain the human race alive and together as one, or considerably later, often including the theme that the existence of pre-catastrophe civilization has been forgotten (or mythologized).

Post-apocalyptic stories often take place in a non-technological future world, or a world where only scattered elements of society and technology remain.

Genre (or; from French genre, "kind" or "sort", from Latin genus (stem gener), Greek γένος, génos) is any form or type of communication in any mode (written, spoken, digital, artistic, etc) with socially-agreed upon conventions developed over time.

Genre is most popularly known as a category of literature, music, or other forms of art or entertainment, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria, yet genres can be aesthetic, rhetorical, communicative, or functional.

Genres form by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones is discontinued.

Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.

Stand alone texts, works, or pieces of communication may have individual styles, but genres are amalgams of these texts based on agreed upon or socially inferred conventions.

Some genres may be rigid with strictly adhered to guidelines while others may be very flexible.
