Synopsis

The Amish have a casino on the Las Vegas Strip (no electricity, of course); the Mormon Underground rescues people from the clutches of the federal government; the Pentecostals have joined the Aryan Nation ("they were the only church that had guns"). The United States has devolved into a feudal society; epidemics rage unchecked due to the collapse of the health system; ecoterrorists are bent on destroying every landmark in the book 1,001 Must-See Sites in North America; the population is ruled by conspiracy theories. America during the apocalypse is, in short, only a bit more twisted than it is today. Love in the Time of the Apocalypse invites us to explore a twisted view of the End Times where love and a good sense of humor can triumph over millennia of prophecy.
