Apocalist Book Club Antonella Inserra

#01: 1805 - the first modern novel depicting the end of the world is published. And boy howdy, what an ending! Jean-Baptiste François Xavier Cousin De Grainville takes us on a good old-fashioned biblical Apocalypse with some modern twists along the way. Come for the Whovian frame story, be tantalized by the will-they-won't-they, and stick around for Nella's new favorite hate-ship. Viva la France!

#03: Welcome to the year 1885 and our very first POST-Apocalypse! Come for the world-building thought exercise, stay for the nightmare landscape that's actively trying to kill you. Oh, have we mentioned canoes? Have you thought about palisades? You should really give engineering a chance.

#04.2: The year is 1890, and Ignatius "Iggy" Donnelly doesn't want a violent revolution to destroy society as we know it, but so it goes. This book is anti-semitic, racist, and is grossly obsessed with female "purity". Listener discretion is advised. Come for a discussion about the history of the labor movement, stay for the violence inherent in the system!

#05: It's 1894, and rockstar Astronomy is BIG. Is it possible for the world to not end fast enough? Will we ever stop being surprised by potential Doctor Who Christmas specials? Why did Camille feel it was ok to write a novel when he didn't even READ novels? And is this even a novel? IS IT??????
Anyway, come for the Attack of the Maths, stay for the g-g-g-g-ghost Pharaoh!
