The cultural wish for apocalypse is most compelling. I have felt it, but don't embrace it. Glad you brought up the subject, Chris. Fascinating!

I have encountered so many different facets to this desire for apocalypse now that I find it ever-more fascinating, fears and desires all mashed together... Glad you liked this piece. Originally, this was all I was planning to write, but then I decided it would be rather enjoyable to trace science fiction from Mary Shelley to cyberpunk. Other tales of this genre are of course possible. 🙂
