The essays selected by the editors to explore these apocalyptic visions are: ?The Remaking of Zero: Beginning at the End," by Gary K. Wolfe; ?The Lone Survivor," by Robert Plank; ?Ambiguous Apocalypse: Transcendental Versions of the End," by Robert Galbreath; ?World's End: The Imagination of Catastrophe," by W. Warren Wagar; ?Man-Made Catastrophes," by Brian Stableford; and ?The Rebellion of Nature," by W. Warren Wagar.

Wolfe sees in these postholocaust narratives a central attraction??the mythic power inherent in the very conception of a remade world." This power derives from three sources: the emergence of a new order from the ashes of the old system, and thus a kind of denial of death; the reinforcement of one set of values as opposed to another; and as something always replaces whatever was destroyed, a promise that nothing can annihilate humanity.
