Summary of Mark O'Connell's Notes from an Apocalypse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was watching cartoons with my son when I came across an embedded YouTube video that showed the final pathetic tribulations of an emaciated polar bear. The video was shot near an abandoned Inuit village in the northern Canadian tundra, where the bear had strayed in search of food.

#2 The world my son was growing up in and the world I was trying to protect him from were constantly colliding with me, and I felt I was failing miserably at both. I was not living up to my duty as a parent.

#3 The end of the world is extremely dull. I am fed up with climate change, which is a form of apocalypse, and I am also bored by it.

#4 The apocalypse, in both its religious and secular forms, has always been a sudden flash of divine or technological power. We don’t know how to make sense of the current mutated form of the end times, so we just accept it.
