What If the World Never Ends?

In "The End of Everything," M. John Harrison flips the script on the usual dystopian themes, imagining a world where nothing catastrophic ever happens, which paradoxically reflects our contemporary anxiety about slow, creeping doom. The novel explores how the absence of crisis breeds its own set of existential crises, highlighting how we often fear the unknown when the real issue may be the status quo. This thought-provoking twist on apocalypse narratives offers a fresh perspective on our current malaise, urging readers to confront the discomfort of complacency.
