Hopeful Apocalypse

About this site

Pop Culture Eschatology from Duff McDuffee

My aim here is to collect mentions of apocalyptic-themed things in the media and provide commentary, especially noting the varied ways in which people respond to "end of the world" scenarios.

For now it's just a collection of things I run across, but in the future I may also write longer articles.

Topics may include global warming and climate change, peak oil, survivalists and SHTF scenario planning, Left Behinders, Conservative Christianity and reading Israel into Revelations, resilient and local community movements, 2012 and Mayan Calendrics, the technological Singularity, Humanity+, global economic collapse, zombies and werewolves and vampires (oh my), Existentialism, the psychological of anxiety and despair, and anything else I deem relevant.
