The world is going to hell. This is how Robert Joustra and Alissa
Wilkinson begin this book, and they never stop being arresting even
as they point to the prevalence of apocalypse - cataclysmic
destruction and nightmarish end-of-the-world scenarios - in
contemporary entertainment. Smart, sharp, and addictively
well-written, How to Survive the Apocalypse examines a number of
popular stories - from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica to the
purging of innocence in Game of Thrones to the hordes of zombies in
The Walking Dead - and argues that such apocalyptic stories reveal
much about us and about how we conceive of our life together,
including some of our deepest tensions and anxieties. Besides
analyzing the dystopian shift in popular culture, Joustra and
Wilkinson suggest how Christians can live faithfully in this
cultural context.
