Fin-de-Siècle fictions, 1890s-1990s :
apocalypse, technoscience, empire /Aris Mousoutzanis. - 1 online resource.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: Apocalypse, Technoscience, Empire -- 1. When Time Shall Be No More: Entropy, Degeneration, History -- 2. The Eternal Return of Chaos -- 3. Dusk of the Nations: Century's End and Imperial Crisis -- 4. Terminal Bodies: New Men and Women for the '00s -- Conclusion: Post-Millennial Apocalypse.
H.G. Wells wanted his epitaph to be 'God damn you all, I told you so'. But how accurate were his predictions of industrial warfare and global conflict, especially as his descriptions of an aerial bombing of New York in "War in the Air" has been compared to the terrorist attacks of 9/11? Did the late Victorians really 'discover the future' or did the 1990s simply recycle the 1890s? At the aftermath of 2012, this book is 'looking backward' and identifies startling connections between the apocalyptic fantasies of the last two centuries' ends and traces intriguing links between Nietzsche and chaos theory, Dracula and "The X-Files", the Borg Queen and H. Rider Haggard's Ayesha, among others.
