John Michael Greer, author of APOCALYPSE NOT: Everything You Know About 2012, Nostradamus, and the Rapture is Wrong
It’s Time to Put the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Out to Pasture
Seemingly from the beginning of time people have been obsessed with the end of time. APOCALYPSE NOT: Everything You Know about 2012, Nostradamus and the Rapture Is Wrong, publishing by Viva Editions in November, is a survey of three millennia of apocalyptic prophecies and the failed dreams and nightmares that have clustered around them. It challenges the entire body of contemporary apocalyptic belief, religious and secular, and traces today’s apocalyptic belief systems back across history.
People nowadays who believe in the Rapture or 2012 talk as though nobody has ever predicted the end of the world before. Award-winning futurist John Michael Greer pinpoints the “apocalypse meme” to its origins between 1500 and 1200 BCE and follows it up to the present. He shows just what’s happened to all of those who’ve bought into the notion that the world as we know it is going to disappear sometime soon and give way to a new world.
By turns tragic and uproariously funny, APOCALYPSE NOT will help readers make sense of the Rapture that didn’t happen on May 21, the Mayan calendar that isn’t really Mayan and entire spectrum of the last three thousand years of people who thought, like the current crop of apocalypse fans, that they knew when the world was going to end.
JOHN MICHAEL GREER is the author of twenty-four books in the fields of alternative spirituality and future studies, including the award-winning The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, The Long Descent: A User’s Guide to the End of the Industrial Age, and Secrets of the Lost Symbol, which has been translated into eight languages.
He is also the author of a popular weekly blog on the future, The Archdruid Report, [link to thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com] Born and raised in Washington State, he now lives in Cumberland, Maryland, an old red brick mill town in the Appalachians, with his wife.
