Everything Must Go by Dorian Lynskey (Hardback Book)

A brilliantly original exploration of our obsession with the end of the world, from Mary Shelley’s The Last Man to the HBO’s The Last of Us. 'Will make you happy to be alive and reading – until the lights go out . . . Brilliant' – The Spectator 'Clever and voluminous . . . So engagingly plotted and written’ – The Guardian We have always told ourselves stories about the end of the world. Long before we watched superintelligent AI wage war on humanity in The Terminator, or read about a catastrophic deluge in J. G. Ballard’s The Drowned World, art, literature and politics were all haunted by recurring visions of apocalypse.
