As climate change threatens the future of our species, many of our stories are turning to the subject of extinction. We all die at the end explores what these narratives are telling us -- and why we must pay attention. From dark forests, to deep caves and open oceans, humanity has always imagined what lies beyond the unknown. Today, on our mapped earth amidst the sixth mass extinction event, our most foreboding terra incognita is the time directly ahead. In response, our culture has been filling this space with zombie videogames, post-apocalyptic quest narratives, political dystopias and ecological horrors, to the point that the future is now saturated with competing narratives of disintegration. By navigating these stories across literature, children's fiction, videogames, theatre and film, We all die at the end shows a species trying to come to terms with the unthinkable prospect of its own demise. Yet this is not a book about giving up. Rather, it argues that hope for survival depends on realising what's truly at stake -- and that our stories, if we truly listen, might hold the key.
