Post-apocalyptic books with absurdism
After a catastrophe, people still need a way to decide who does what. Absurdist stories can follow one of those decisions until the rules it produces are stranger than the disaster that made them necessary. There’s room here for a joke that makes you wonder how sensible life was before the world ended.
