Distinguished science-fiction writer Walter M. Miller, Jr., and famed anthologist Martin H. Greenberg have compiled a collection of stories that address one of the most challenging themes of imaginative fiction: the nature of life after nuclear war. The twenty-one stories collected here by masters such as Arthur C. Clarke, Poul Anderson, Ray Bradbury, J. G. Ballard, Robert Sheckley, Roger Zelazny, and Harlan Ellison explore a variety of possibilities of "life after." Miller's incisive introduction and thought-provoking and irreverent commentary throughout are included.
