This chapter examines how Mary Shelley refashions Hesiod's search for a continuous ground of humanness that persists through catastrophic transformations of the foundations of social life. It looks at Hesiod's Works and Days, which consists of survival instructions and ontological reflections on what it means for human beings to have to repeatedly rediscover themselves in the occupations of survival. It also mentions Shelley's critics who saw willful cruelty toward humankind in The Last Man. The chapter explains how Shelley brackets the question of motive in the destruction of humankind and makes herself a proxy of Nature in bringing the era of human occupation of the earth to an end. It mentions Olaf Stapledon, an English writer of speculative fiction that focuses on how human beings relate to cosmic forces that produce drastic transformations in their physical being and form of life.

This chapter looks at postapocalyptic fiction that brackets the direct, immediately productive relationship between occupation and mentation. It explains how postapocalyptic fiction posits the need for constant ontological practice as a prerequisite of survival, which is considered an adversarial strategy in posthuman survivalist fiction. It also refers to Octavia Butler's Parable novels, wherein the Earthseed writings of her protagonist that sustain eucharistic functions of community creation and group adhesion in an unstable world. The chapter elaborates Earthseed's ontological claims as a requirement for admission to the survivor group and as an understanding that human beings' relationships with one another are directly commensurate with their relationships to other living beings. It analyzes Butler's figure of the Sower that fulfills the organic meaning of apokalypsis.
