Mary Shelley's novel, The Last Man (1826), is a continuation of the apocalyptic theme in fiction.[1] The story follows a group of people as they struggle to survive in a plague-infected world. In the film The Day After Tomorrow (2004), based on Whitley Strieber's speculative non-fiction novel The Coming Global Superstorm (1999), extreme weather events caused by climate change invoke mass destruction across the planet, and eventually result in a new ice age. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4748.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4748.txt
