The People Who Are Preparing For The Apocalypse

Mark O'Connell, author of the award-winning To Be a Machine, has written a new book which might make perfect reading for anyone in lockdown. Notes from an Apocalypse was inspired by time he spent on a wilderness retreat in the Scottish Highlands and the concept of apocalyptic anxiety. He interviewed a range of people who have dark ideas about the future, and what they are doing to prepare for it. Mark joined us on The Last Word to discuss the book.
