Trying to think of the first book/movie/story I knew of that incorporated a post-apocalypse scenerio. I know I was aware of it before I saw Terminator 2 in 1992, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head, let alone just beneath my scrotum. So rather than trying to think out loud and come up with what was first, I'm just going to list acouple of books/movies that I love that fall within this.
Terminator 1 and kind of 2. Fuck 3 except the last 15 minutes or so.
Jericho
Waterworld
The Postman - book & film
12 Monkeys
Mad Max (only seen second 1/2)
Night of the Living Dead/ Dawn of the Dead/ Land of the Dead
Episode of Twilight Zone where the guy survives a nuclear war in the library basement then breaks his glasses at the end. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last)
The Happening (acting could be better but I like the story)
(Really want to see Deep Impact)
Wall-E (except the last 10 minutes)
The Stand - book & film
(Not post-apocalyptic but falls under Survivalists)
LOST
Lord of the Flies
Anyway, just brain ramblings at work before I try to sleep for 2-3 hours.
