Summary/Abstract: In these three novels, the Anthropocene leads to the destruction of the world, after which the human survivors live among the ruins of our civilization, in a spectral world. These are the end times, when eschatology reveals itself. But in a postmodern culture without a god, the revelation of a superior meaning lies in the rediscovery of nature or in the disclosure of the erotic and poetic power of imagination.
