From disaster movies to post-apocalyptic fiction, The End, in its various guises, continues to live between a fear and a fantasy - a fascination that increasingly feels a lot like longing.

Original title was 'Why do we want the world to end?' but I changed it after realising Zoe Bee had already made a video with a very similar title, excellent new title courtesy of Matt Gray.

A further reading list, plus a lot of my own writing that was cut out of the final video, is available for $2 patrons: https://www.patreon.com/whatssograce
