Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by huddled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. Eight hundred survivors wait for a "space-Ark” to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart. Soon it turns out that the Ark was a myth devised by those in power. Still, the people live the Ark myth, decide to use guidelines from the Bible to build one themselves and start distributing seats in the rescue shuttle. Meanwhile, the concrete vault of the bunker threatens to collapse, and an engineer called Soft has to strengthen its structure. He wants to build the Ark nevertheless, but finds out that very little was left of the Bible after the war. He tries to escape using a secret airplane, but soon realizes that it has been rebuilt to resemble a fake Ark. The dome collapses, and the crowd starts running towards the light that is to bring the Ark. A grim portrait of post-apocalyptic paranoia, written under and inspired by Martial Law in Poland.
