As a boomer who grew up on the periphery of the shadow of MAD and
Nuclear Annihilation, I'm more fascinated by less abrupt versions:
<blockquote>
<p>Love William Gibson's use of the term "Jackpot" to describe a
slow but unequivocal "slumping" of the game (Jackpot Series)</p>
<p>Also Johnathan Letham's use of "the Arrest" for a similarly
styled apocalyptic transition... a long, slow spin-out of
everything.</p>

<p>As an alternative (probably out of reach) Jean-Marc Janovici's
Graphic Novel <a
href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/World_Without_End/yVwBEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover">World
without End</a> and his emphasis on the distinction between <i>poverte</i>
and <i>sobriete</i> and it's implication for our collective
(post?)industrial future. <a
