The End of the World! Japanese Apocalypse, Part 1

  • Résumé

  • In part one of this three part episode, we're looking at apocalyptic and dystopian fiction as genres. Their origins in Western and Central Asia. Their evolution in Western Europe. And a history of English-language apocalyptic and dystopian storytelling that will provide us with context and a basis for comparison when we turn to Japanese stories in part two.

    Notes and sources on the episode page. Transcript available.
