Post-apocalyptic dystopias
Post-apocalyptic dystopias begin after the fall. Plague, war, or collapse has already emptied the world, and the story is what people build or fail to build in the ruins. The tyranny here is often improvised, a warlord or a walled town, and the deeper subject is whether civilization is a structure or only a habit.
