Pandemic, climate change, or war: our era is ripe with the odor of
doomsday. In movies, books, and more, our imaginations run wild
with visions of dreadful, abandoned cities and returning to the
land in a desperate attempt at survival. In The Next Apocalypse,
archaeologist Chris Begley argues that we completely misunderstand
how disaster works. Examining past collapses of civilizations, such
as the Maya and Rome, he argues that these breakdowns are actually
less about cataclysmic destruction than they are about long
processes of change. In short: it's what happens after the initial
uproar that matters. Some people abandon their homes and neighbors;
others band together to start anew. As we anticipate our own fate,
Begley tells us that it was communities, not lone heroes, who
survived past apocalypses-and who will survive the next. Fusing
archaeology, survivalism, and social criticism, The Next Apocalypse
is an essential read for anxious times.
