After the Apocalypse by Maureen F. McHugh

4.0

McHugh has this amazing ability to write hyper-realistically about societies that are just a shade different from ours. Her characters are fascinating psychological studies but you also care about what become of them. This collection of short stories explores what happens 'after the apocalypse': there aren't just zombies, but 'special economics' and death by chicken nuggets in a non-conventional family unit.
