Michael Ortiz Hill looks closely into one hundred end-of-world dreams and uncovers the myths ruling our fears and hopes.

Besides a writer, Hill is a registered nurse and practitioner of traditional African medicine in the US and among the Bantu people in Zimbabwe. He writes here about dreams of the end of the world: both the cultural or collective dream that led to the invention of the first atomic bomb in the 1940s and to the continuing and relentless war against nature, and personal dreams that he has culled from individuals in the course of his research. Then he walks readers through the apocalyptic rite of initiation. There is no index. The first edition appeared in 1994.
