The world will end when our sun eventually explodes and encompasses the planet.

As for when human life on this planet will end, that's a different question. When I was young I never thought we'd last to the year 2000. I thought overpopulation would collapse civilization and we'd be scattered warring tribes by now.

We seem to have escaped that, or at least postponed it.

Over and over in history we've muddled through. Every century has had its crisis by which people thought the end of the world was coming - always for a good reason, or at least, a reason that looked good to them. It hasn't happened yet.

I think we really can't predict the future. It's always not what you expect. Challenges are good for us.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.

Everything changes.

Mike Carey was speaking at the Ottawa Writers Festival today. My thanks to [livejournal.com profile] auriaephiala for letting me know; she wasn't familiar with his work, but she knew I would be. He's a comic book writer whose work I have enjoyed - particularly on Hellblazer, Lucifer, and X-Men.

I am so glad I went. The venue was delightful: Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities - an old church, nicely refurbished, in a hall with old grey stone walls. The interviewer asked intelligent questions and was clearly very familiar with Carey's work. And Carey spoke well on various aspects of his own career and the process of writing for comics.

I hadn't known, but he has a series of prose novels out as well, starting with The Devil You Know - urban fantasy. I bought one on faith and got it autographed.
