Book Synopsis

A brilliantly original exploration of our obsession with the end of the world, from Mary Shelley’s The Last Man to the HBO’s The Last of Us.

'Will make you happy to be alive and reading – until the lights go out . . . Brilliant' – The Spectator

Ballard’s The Drowned World, art, literature and politics were all haunted by recurring visions of apocalypse.

In Everything Must Go – a colourful, witty and stirring cultural history of the modern world that weaves in politics, history and science – Dorian Lynskey explores the endings that we have read, listened
