Sweet Apocalypse

We no longer wait for catastrophe-it is already woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. Nuclear threats, environmental collapse, pandemics, artificial intelligence gone rogue: these are no longer shocking possibilities, but familiar backdrops to our collective imagination. Sweet Apocalypse is a bold, thought-provoking exploration of how disaster has become entertainment, spectacle, and finally, a form of quiet resignation. Through cultural analysis, philosophical reflection, and sharp social critique, this essay dissects the ways we aestheticize fear, normalize instability, and slowly lose the will to envision peace as a serious, shared aspiration. In a time when talking about peace seems naive, almost scandalous, Sweet Apocalypse dares to question the narratives we passively accept-and to reawaken the forgotten hope for a different future. If you sense that something vital is being lost behind the endless parade of collapse stories, this book is for you. Citation (DOI): Carbonera, A. (2025). Sweet Apocalypse.
