The end of the world is nigh! Enclosed is a critical document of our final days for future civilisations. Charting twelve months of pathetic party politics, farcical electioneering, corporate and industrial ecocide, the sickening rise of the far right even here in the UK, and never-ending age of mega-crisis worldwide.
Featuring all of Cold War Steve's largest - and most sardonic - artworks, as well as insightful and excoriating contributions from Ian Dunt, Jeremy Deller, Jools Holland, Nihal Arthanayake, Dr Rebecca Anne Barr, Salena Godden and Roy.
