About the Author
199
The popular appeal of the end of the world genre is clear In movies, novels, and
television shows. Even our 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.
Claire Curtis explores postapocalyptlc fiction as a contemporary version of the
state of nature
—
the hypothetical fiction of modern political philosophy that allows
us to define the terms of the social contract, the rules we can accept for living
together. Her survey of this popular genre traces a movement from restatements of
the classical theories of the social contract to the recent fiction of
Octavia
Butler,
who suggests a new version of the social contract, one built on the fact of human
dependence and vulnerability,
