The purpose of this study is to analyse Maggie Gee’s The Ice People and Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower as examples of post-apocalyptic fiction arguing how the catastrophe is narrated in diary forms and the effects of post-apocalyptic contexts in different aspects of societies by discussing them through the perspective of posthumanist theory. Both novels place a dysfunctional society at the centre and criticise the anthropocentric approaches in the aftermaths of the apocalypse by questioning the core of what gives value to a human being in such a planet while presenting a gap between generations in their struggle to build a promising planet again.
