Imagining the End provides students and general readers with
contextualized examples of how the apocalypse has been imagined
across all mediums of American popular culture. Detailed entries
analyze the development, influence, and enjoyment of end-times
narratives. Imagining the End provides a contextual overview and
individual description and analysis of the wide range of depictions
of the end of the world that have appeared in American popular
culture. American writers, filmmakers, television producers, and
game developers inundated the culture with hundreds of imagined
apocalyptic scenarios, influenced by the Biblical Book of
Revelation, the advent of the end of the second millennium (2000
CE), or predictions of catastrophic events such as nuclear war,
climate change, and the spread of AIDS. From being "raptured" to
surviving the zombie apocalypse, readers and viewers have been left
with an almost endless sequence of disasters to experience.
Imagining the End examines this phenomenon and provides a context
for understanding, and perhaps appreciating, the end of the world.
This title is composed of alphabetized entries covering all topics
related to the end times, covering popular culture mediums such as
comic books, literature, films, and music.
