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?
