This article analyses the challenges faced by survivors within the unforgiving environments of fictional post-apocalyptic worlds as they seek refuge, better living conditions, and the possibility of rebuilding civil society. Grounded in an inter-disciplinary framework that merges literary criticism with social contract theory – particularly drawing on the concept of the state of nature – the article examines how the apocalyptic event itself influences the ideology, goals, and behaviour of communities of survivors. By focusing on the social dynamics and background of these groups in various post-apocalyptic works, the study elaborates on recent academic literature which highlights harmonious relationships in post-apocalyptic contexts.
