Ape and Essence is a script picked up off the roadside and saved by a screenwriter, who tries and fails to meet its recently deceased author before publishing the script as the remainder of the book. A small force of explorers travels from New Zealand to the rest of the world post-nuclear war, where they come upon groups of apes living out parodies of human life.This book is rather bizarre and surreal, but there are elements of believability throughout - robbing graves for supplies, and poor crop yields, as well as the new religion that springs up when things continue to deteriorate. I found it intruiging, but not amazing.
