With Wanderers, Chuck Wendig has mastered it. Very few authors can pull it off, and even fewer can master it. In precise and deliberate prose, you can explain why and how your fictional world is ending, but writing something that really conjures the end-with the many cogs in the machine of civilization that have to break down, and the consequences of the failure of each one-is much harder, particularly if you’d like to do it with heart and thrills and something resembling a thesis statement about the human condition. It’s not easy to write the end of the world.
