Can Someone Please Suggest Me a Postapocalyptic Novel That Isn’t Pronatalist and Where The Focus Isn’t “Children are the Future” or Parenting?

Hey everyone,

So, I have been trying to get into Postapocalyptic fiction and while I absolutely understand why children (having children, rebuilding society etc.) would be a central theme for this genre (as well as parenting), I was hoping if someone can perhaps share any examples where that isn't the case. The Stand, The Passage, The Border, All the Fiends In Hell, Birdbox (and its sequel), Children of Men, Survivor Song all lean into that trope in one way or another.

As mentioned earlier, I absolutely understand why that is a key element for these kinds of stories, I would love to find a book in this genre where parenting/pronatalism etc. isn't the core theme (or at least takes a back seat). Would anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you
