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."

Industry Reviews

"Bram's political and social commentary is not just entertaining, but also horrifically coherent." - Darren McGarvey (Orwell Prize 2018, author of Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between Us)


"For a book which explores such dark pathways it glows with the light of intelligence." - Ewan Morrison (multi award-winning novelist, author of Tales From The Mall and Nina X)


"The Darkest Timeline gazes unflinchingly into the broken mirror of contemporary culture, taking us on a kaleidoscopic journey through our apocalyptic present moment, towards a thoughtful and humane meditation on what it might mean to live well in a world with no future. 'Timely' feels too small a word for the task this book sets itself - a bracing and essential read." - Kieran Hurley (playwright and screenwriter, Beats and Adults)
