Description
In this incisive collection of essays, Elisa Gabbert examines how people imagine, remember, and emotionally process catastrophe in an age of climate anxiety and collective dread. Moving between disaster culture, personal memory, scientific uncertainty, and the stories we tell ourselves about the future, she investigates why looming crises can feel both impossible to grasp and impossible to ignore. Gabbert’s rigorous research and candid self-examination transform abstract fears into lucid, unsettling reflections on attention, responsibility, and survival. Provocative yet deeply thoughtful, the collection offers a searching portrait of life under the shadow of mounting doom.
