The End of the World Book: A Novel

Product Information

Pandemics and war, social turmoil and corrupt governments, natural disasters and environmental collapse--it's hard not to watch the signs of the times and feel afraid.

A lot of the value in global trade is moving to "soft" goods (SW, entertainment) and "medium" goods (sophisticated machinery). I did like this overall message, it was a clever one and it did give an ending to the book on the whole, but the overall feeling I got when I finished was just disappointment as I feel that Lowrie and Shen’s tale was just over and we didn’t really know what happened with them after the final chapter. His predictions of doom stem from two factors — demographic decline, and America’s withdrawal from the world system.

Your favorite novel in which a flu pandemic wipes out civilization in a matter of weeks (yikes) and a band of entertainers wander the decimated land, putting on Shakespeare plays for the survivors. In this novel, a pastor goes to another planet to spread Christianity, leaving his wife at home; what results, among other things, is that the apocalypse in this novel is telegraphed to the protagonist at a distance, through increasingly alarming and unbelievable missives, even as he finds himself drawing further away from the life he used to know and the woman he used to love. Marianne is one of the Professors, and lives in a literal ivory tower with her father—until she sneaks out to experience life as a Barbarian. But considering the novel’s insistence on the interconnectedness of time and space (and people) and the centrality of the post-apocalypse it does evoke (located at the pinnacle of the novel’s unique structure), I think it’s only fair to count it here. Yet Charleston's ancestors are a case study in the liberating and hopeful survival of a spiritual community.When this novel begins, it’s about a decade after the zombie apocalypse has left only a handful of uninfected humans in Britain—the rest are dead or infected, “empty houses where people used to live” known as “hungries. The very first novel you (probably) think of when someone says “post-apocalyptic,” in which a man and his son travel across a blasted-out country that ever gets explained. Selfish genius Percy Kelly thought hoarding, not selling, his art was the best way to win posthumous fame but he drove away two wives and died abandoned. Nate lost everyone he’s cared about, and after stepping through the final portal, he makes a shocking discovery.

Ambition-crazed traitor, pirate and murderer John Paul Jones burned part of a ship in Whitehaven and was hailed as “Father of the American Navy”. I sincerely hope that the author improve the quality and don't add any brainless scenarios in the further books. The human scientists who are left are torn: try to crack open the eponymous Melanie’s brain to figure out how it works? And the changes in the timeframe combined with the initial leveling problems pretty much spell out that humanity is doomed regardless of what they try. Right as the last survivors make it, they find Earth is overrun and everything is strong than they are.The MC goes back in time to help humanity be stronger, but his attempts to change things change the timeline, hes a cultivator with a female sidekick and a male friend as a group. How do these flamboyant and controversial ‘roadmen’ think about their work and the future of the planet? As Idle No More, Indigenous peoples, and their allies have repeatedly stated, ‘Indigenous sovereignty is climate action. As the title says this is a review for Kindle Unlimited and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis. At the end of the day, Cabin at the End of the World is a masterclass in heart and horror, examining a human being’s capacity for blind belief and physical violence in equal measure.

Of course Cloud Atlas is not entirely a novel about the end of the world, and in fact of its six storylines only one could be considered post-apocalyptic (one other is squarely dystopian). This past year, a ton of people have been asking me to review Peter Zeihan’s The End of the World is Just the Beginning . The collective behind it embodies the very politics necessary to win a just transition that is worthy of the name: Indigenous-led, internationalist, rooted in solidarity, and crackling with moral clarity.
