Books
Human beings have been imagining the end of the world from the Book of Revelation to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Every generation imagines that its visions of the end times are new.Following his acclaimed, Baillie Gifford longlisted exploration of dystopian futures in The Ministry of Truth, which investigated both the sources and inspirations of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and its current ubiquity in fiction, media and online, Dorian Lynskey investigates our fantasies of the end, across both high and popular culture, from the Reformation to the present.
