Like Black Mirror on steroids, The Darkest Timeline issues 9 vignettes of doom in the form of theoretical essays that outline not the likelihood, but the certainty of our demise as a species. Taking into account an array of apocalyptic modalities, Bram E. Gieben shows us with sardonic wit and erudition that there may be no silver lining in hollow utopias, or escape to heroic post-apocalypse fantasies. We are left to choose how to countenance our demise. A dynamic thrill ride through critical theory, pop culture and high-concept fiction.

'Bram's political and social commentary is not just entertaining, but also horrifically coherent.' - Darren McGarvey (Orwell Prize 2018, author of Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between Us)
