It's the apocalypse. It's the end of the world. It's the all out downfall of society and humanity as we know it. And I couldn't be more pleased. Maybe it was the great R.E.M. song that said "It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine" that makes me think of this book.
Finally, someone is able to toy with the fact that we- as humans- are slowly destroying ourselves. And while at times it may seem a bit too slow, the process does eventually speed up and it will eventually catch up with us. The only problem is most people think it won't catch up with them in their lifetime. Well, what if it does? What if this all catches up with you in your lifetime? What if the death of you- one person- not only becomes just that, but also the death of every living thing? It's something I'm sure we all have pondered. And as M.F. Korn takes us through these pages filled with the eventual end of mankind, I can't help but get a happy feeling from it all (though I shouldn't) and reassurance in knowing that I'm not the only one contemplating the end. Not just the end of my life and my time, but the end of all life and of all time.
