“A lot of times when I ask people what their apocalyptic fantasy life is like, they'll immediately say something like, "Oh, what I think is going to kill us is climate change or World War IV," and that's not what I'm interested in at all.

That's the tension I'm interested in.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantEndsHappensKidsWaterAwarenessLuckyConcernedHistoricalCuriosityErasTensionHyperGrandkids Author:Lucy Corin
