""The end of the world may be upon us, but it certainly is taking its sweet time playing out. The walkers on The Walking Dead have been "walking" for nearly a decade, with no sign of stopping. And why should they? The apocalypse is everywhere. There are dozens of apocalyptic television shows currently on the air, and we use the language of the "end times" to describe everything from domestic politics and international conflict, to the weather and our own views of the future. This collection of essays asks what it means for us, as consumers of media and as members of the human race, to live in a world inundated with representations of the apocalypse. Focusing on television series including The Walking Dead, The Strain, Battlestar Galactica, Doomsday Preppers, Westworld, The Handmaids Tale, and more, these essays explore how the serialization of the end of the world allows for a more persistent and close examination of the disintegration of humanity before, after, and as it happens.
