After the Orgy

Viac o knihe

Exploring the theme of apocalyptic endings, the author examines its pervasive influence in post-Enlightenment culture, from the decadents of the 1890s to the cyberpunks of the 1990s. The book delves into the dynamic tensions present in various apocalyptic discourses, revealing a complex interplay of exhaustion, anticipation, panic, and ecstasy that characterizes contemporary cultural experiences. By applying Baudrillard's provocative question, it invites readers to reflect on the implications of these narratives in today's world.
