SUMMARY:Mark O'Connell – Notes from an Apocalypse: A Personal Journey to 
 the End of the World and Back - in conversation with Jenny Offill
DESCRIPTION:In Notes from an Apocalypse\, Mark O'Connell crosses the globe 
 in pursuit of answers. He tours survival bunkers in South Dakota. He ventu
 res to New Zealand\, a favored retreat of billionaires banking on civiliza
 tion's collapse. He engages with would-be Mars colonists\, preppers\, righ
 t-wing conspiracists. And he bears witness to those places\, like Chernoby
 l\, that the future has already visited—real-life portraits of the end o
 f the world as we know it. In doing so\, he comes to a resolution\, while 
 offering readers a unique window into our contemporary imagination.\n\nBot
 h investigative and deeply personal\, this book is an affecting\, humorous
 \, and surprisingly hopeful meditation on our present moment. With insight
 \, humanity\, and wit\, O'Connell leaves you to wonder: What if the end of
  the world isn't the end of the world?\n\nO'Connell will be in conversatio
 n with Jenny Offill\, author of the novels Last Things\, Dept. of Speculat
 ion\, and most recently\, Weather.\n\nThis program is part of DUBLIN VOICE
 S\, a collaboration between Politics and Prose Bookstore\, the Embassy of 
 Ireland\, Solas Nua\, and Global Irish Studies.
