Apocalyptic Dystopia is a subgenre of dystopian fiction in which the defining feature is the portrayal of a society or world in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event that precipitates the collapse of civilization, distinguishing it from other dystopian forms by grounding its socio-political and existential crises in the direct consequences of large-scale catastrophic destruction.
