This is what I hate about so much of apocalyptic fiction. The worst offender is Guillermo Del Toro in The Strain series where they basically just rebuild exactly the same after the brainworm vampires are defeated. My favorite is The Passage series where the vampire apocalypse actually transforms humanity into something closer resembling communism.

The absolute worst apocalyptic fiction is the Hobbesian "Now that the police and government are gone, everyone reverts to their worst instincts and turns into cannibal raiders except a few pockets of civilization ruled by Strong Patriarchs" nonsense

The Passage is the opposite of that which is why it is so good.
