- Summary:
- "This book is about the apocalypse, and the many ways we've incorrectly predicted that the world would end. From ancient times to the modern day, it's a tale of weird cults, failed prophets and bored suburbanites waiting for aliens to rescue them... plus one very unfortunate chicken. But why are we obsessed with a prediction that hasn't ever come true? (Yet). And after 3,000 years of getting it wrong, how can we learn to live in a world which feels like it could all burn down tomorrow?"--Publisher.
