The Book of Revelation acts as a solitary guide to this extraordinary era in time. Drawing inspiration from Mark E. Smith, the late lead singer of The Fall and regarded as the "John of Patmos of his time," Rob A. Mackenzie presents an apocalyptic nightmare vision that encompasses the remnants of Empire, political corruption, and relentlessly oppressive headlines in a darkly comedic phantasmagoria of the twenty-first century. While the narrative does delve into darkness, there are moments of solace to be found in the creative underground, diverse forms of artistic resistance, and the brave individuals who serve as guinea pigs. Mackenzie leads us on a captivating journey through the kingdoms of mosquito governments and "hyena influencers, hyena Messiahs," recognizing both the fleeting despair of passing moments and the constant emergence of new beginnings. Through his characteristic formal variety and stylistic vitality, Mackenzie invites us to explore the complexities of this world, acknowledging both the sorrows of the past and the boundless potential of the present.
