Human beings have been imagining the end of the world from the Book of Revelation to Avengers: The Age of Ultron . Every generation imagines that its visions of the end times are new. Following his acclaimed, Baillie Gifford longlisted exploration of dystopian futures in The Ministry of Truth , which investigated both the sources and inspirations of Orwell''s Nineteen Eighty-Four and its current ubiquity in fiction, media and online, Dorian Lynskey investigates our fantasies of the end, across both high and popular culture, from the Reformation to the present.
