BOOK LAUNCH: Revol Press Presents THE DARKEST TIMELINE by Bram E Gieben

 Join critic and author Bram E. Gieben for a reading from his debut book, The Darkest Timeline, from Revol Press. A collection of critical essays that trace the outlines of our dystopian present and our increasingly impossible futures, the book explores apocalyptic themes in literature, film, theory and hard science in an attempt to answer the question... are we in the darkest timeline? The reading will be followed by a short Q&A and book signing. 

 Like Black Mirror on steroids, The Darkest Timeline issues 9 vignettes of doom in the form of theoretical essays that outline not the likelihood, but the certainty of our demise as a species. Taking into account an array of apocalyptic modalities, Bram E. Gieben shows us with sardonic wit and erudition that there may be no silver lining. We are left to choose how to countenance our demise. The moment for bleak critical theory capped off with a wistful longing and silver linings has passed: "... it is time to stop imagining alternate worlds, and confront whatever monsters are lurking in the basement."
