Our world is reeling from dire economic crises and ecological disasters. Visions of the apocalypse and impending doom abound. Governments warn that no alternative exists to taking the bitter medicine they prescribe. Catastrophism explores the politics of apocalypse, on the left and right, in the environmental movement, and from capital and the state, and examines why the lens of catastrophe distorts our understanding of the dynamics at the heart of numerous disasters and fatally impedes our ability to transform the world. The authors challenge the belief that it is only out of the ashes that a better society may be born.

A Legend is Reborn in the American Apocalypse. For Rob "Hood" Huntington, a regular twenty-something kid from D.C., the end of civilization happened in an instant. There were no warnings. One day, the power cuts off, and it never comes back on. His home city devolves to chaos after being decimated by a nuclear blast. An unknown war has shattered the American Civilization we all knew. Luckily for Hood, he quickly discovers he's one of the most naturally gifted marksmen alive. Two years have passed since civilization has collapsed. Hidden away in the mid-Atlantic countryside rests the small town of Clearwater, where Hood, his sister Taylor, and an ex-cop by the name of Whiskey lead a group of thieving survivors. In the remnants of America, two wasteland Kings fight a ruthless war for control of the land. A war Hood and his loved ones cannot escape. In between making bad jokes and getting drunk with the unlikely friends he's made in the Clearwater crew, Hood has to face the reality of this new world: you have to fight for your survival, you have to fight for your family, you have to fight for what you believe. Even if you see yourself in the faces of the people on the other end of the trigger.

From climate change to nuclear war to the rise of demagogic populists, our world is shaped by doomsday expectations. In this path-breaking book, Alison McQueen shows why three of history's greatest political realists feared apocalyptic politics. Niccol- Machiavelli in the midst of Italy's vicious power struggles, Thomas Hobbes during England's bloody civil war, and Hans Morgenthau at the dawn of the thermonuclear age all saw the temptation to prophesy the end of days. Each engaged in subtle and surprising strategies to oppose apocalypticism, from using its own rhetoric to neutralize its worst effects to insisting on a clear-eyed, tragic acceptance of the human condition. Scholarly yet accessible, this book is at once an ambitious contribution to the history of political thought and a work that speaks to our times.

Many people spent their fortune on him. They only wanted to have a chance at success, but very few people truly possessed him. Under the surface, he was just a plaything in the hands of a bunch of young masters. A meticulously calculated conspiracy had taken away his young, short life. His life had been reversed, and he hadn't been willing to play with the things he had played in the past. He wanted to fight back, so he had less power to conquer. On the night of his return, he sent out the reincarnated Feng Xuan in front of his eyes. The world was famous, and he was like a poppy that bloomed in the wind. He did not want to kill anyone, but carried a fatal poison with him. "Are you a virgin?" Looking at the soul-reaping phoenix eyes, the lightning that never played at places suddenly rose up. "Do you want to deal with it?" "Ha ha..." Feng Xuan's quick and agile response had amused all of the people in the private room. His usual playfulness had also attracted the attention of the young masters, but tonight, he was like a thunderbolt in the sky. This was no ordinary encounter; it was destined to last a lifetime. After Feng Xuan was reborn, he would change the fate of the plaything, with less power to counterattack! [Space-time background is pure fiction. Please do not enter this seat.]

In a dystopian California, a woman searches for her daughter with the help of an enigmatic outlaw in this “evocative, sensual, harrowing” zombie thriller (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Awakening in a bleak landscape, Cass Dollar vaguely recalls enduring something terrible. With no idea of how many days or weeks have passed, she slowly realizes the horrifying truth: her daughter, Ruthie, has vanished—along with civilization as we know it. Instead of winding through the once-lush hills, the roads today see only cannibalistic Beaters: people turned hungry for human flesh by a government experiment gone wrong. In a broken, barren California, Cass will undergo a dangerous quest to get Ruthie back. Few people trust an outsider—much less one who bears the telltale scars of a Beater attack. But she finds safety with a mysterious stranger, Smoke. And she’ll need him more than ever when his ragged band of survivors learn that she and Ruthie have become the most feared, and desired, weapons in a brave new world . . .

ISBN: 1509540091

In this post-apocalyptic rollercoaster ride, philosopher Srećko Horvat invites us to explore the Apocalypse in terms of ‘revelation’ (rather than as the ‘end’ itself). He argues that the only way to prevent the end – i.e., extinction – is to engage in a close reading of various interconnected threats, such as climate crisis, the nuclear age and the ongoing pandemic. Drawing on the work of neglected philosopher Günther Anders, this book outlines a philosophical approach to deal with what Horvat, borrowing a term from climate science and giving it a theological twist, calls ‘eschatological tipping points’. These are no longer just the nuclear age or climate crisis, but their collision, conjoined with various other major threats – not only pandemics, but also the viruses of capitalism and fascism. In his investigation of the future of places such as Chernobyl, the Mediterranean and the Marshall Islands, as well as many others affected by COVID-19, Horvat contends that the ‘revelation’ appears simple and unprecedented: the alternatives are no longer socialism or barbarism – our only alternatives today are a radical reinvention of the world, or mass extinction. After the Apocalypse is an urgent call not only to mourn tomorrow’s dead today but to struggle for our future while we can.
