Exploring the evolution of apocalyptic thought, this book delves into the interplay between film, literature, and societal changes. It highlights how early 19th-century secularization of religious prophecies by figures like Lord Byron and Mary Shelley set the stage for modern doomsday narratives. With sharp wit, the author examines various cultural responses to contemporary anxieties—ranging from pandemics to climate change—while showcasing the works of influential artists and writers. This insightful cultural history offers a rich perspective on humanity's enduring fascination with the end of the world.
