More about the book

Exploring the theme of apocalyptic endings, the book examines how this obsession has shaped post-Enlightenment culture. By applying Baudrillard's provocative question, the author analyzes a range of apocalyptic discourses from the decadent movements of the 1890s to the cyberpunk era of the 1990s. Dominic Pettman delves into the intricate interplay of emotions such as exhaustion, anticipation, panic, and ecstasy that characterize contemporary cultural experiences, revealing the underlying tensions that inform our current moment.
