Research reveals that apocalyptic stories changed dramatically over the last 20 years.

Most major religions, going back thousands of years, tell stories about the End of the World. And post-apocalyptic fiction is perennially popular. So why, in the last twenty years, has the apocalypse ceased to matter?

CS - Interesting read which reminds me of an old thesis I read way back about scifi writers base their stories around social/political current events to connect the reader with fantastical events of the future.
