First comes the horrifically mutated new smallpox strain, that leaves only one person in a million alive (though how a bacillus can be so mathematically OCD is a matter left for speculation). In Jo Treggiari’s grim adventure Ashes, Ashes, Mother Earth is pissed, and has decided to give us a time out once and for all. A decade into the new century, and we’re now worried about cataclysmic climate change, our failed stewardship of our dear Mother Earth. Back when our calendar years began with a one and a nine, post-apocalypse usually meant post-nuclear war. “Post-apocalyptic fiction” means a very different thing in the early 21st century than it did in the 20th - as does “young adult fiction,” for that matter.
