Fellow fans of apocalyptic literature - we need your help! In advance of the imminent demise of the world (apparently scheduled for Friday), we thought it wise to compile a list of lessons that can be learned from the best apocalyptic fiction, and we need your suggestions.

Cell: put down your mobile phone
The Postman: hone your acting skills
