3.4, The Everyday Apocalypse
from Spec Fic Crossing the Gulf Hosted by Karen Burnham
“Nine Last Days on Planet Earth” by Daryl Gregory and “The Privilege of the Happy Ending” by Kij Johnson Apocalypse now, or some day soon when we least expect it?

But apocalypse can mean many things when we consider the privileged or the vulnerable; the distant past or the near future; the observer or the affected; the slow, creeping horror or fleet-footed death. Award winning authors Gregory and Johnson more than deliver on the philosophical promise of this topic.
