Throughout history, apocalypse fiction has delved into the exploration of social injustice through a blend of fantasy, science fiction, and religious imagery. However, the question remains: what can we learn from this genre? Why do we escape from the very real disasters of our world through dystopian narratives? Why do we find ourselves indulging in fantasies about the end of the world?
The term "apocalypse" finds its origins in ancient Greek, where "apo" (meaning "off") and "kalýptein" (meaning "cover") combine to form "apokálypsis," signifying the uncovering or revelation. In examining apocalypse fiction across various cultures and its significance in our approach to managing, manifesting, and envisioning social, economic, and political crises, Goh delves into what this genre reveals about our contemporary anxieties. Moreover, she explores why we consistently resort to disaster scenarios time and again.
From blockbuster films like War of the Worlds to popular series like The Handmaids Tale and beyond, we embark on a journey that traverses global pandemics and the climate crisis, seeking genuine answers amidst the fictional destruction. Let us embark on a journey to the end.
