The end of the world may be upon us, but it certainly is taking its
sweet time playing out. The walkers on The Walking Dead have been
"walking" for nearly a decade. There are now dozens of apocalyptic
television shows and we use the "end times" to describe everything
from domestic politics and international conflict, to the weather
and our views of the future. This collection of new essays asks
what it means to live in a world inundated with representations of
the apocalypse. Focusing on such series as The Walking Dead, The
Strain, Battlestar Galactica, Doomsday Preppers, Westworld, The
Handmaid's Tale, they explore how the serialization of the end of
the world allows for a closer examination of the disintegration of
humanity--while it happens. Do these shows prepare us for what is
to come? Do they spur us to action? Might they even be causing the
apocalypse?
