Man has always been fascinated by the end times and what it would be like. Look at movies and books from many years ago and it has always been a popular subject.

It has, I agree...but I don't think it has been so well covered in a such a short period of time as it has been in since 9/11. You cant sling a dead cat without hitting a TV Show, a book or a movie dealing with a dystopian theme. There are a lot of people who will claim it is due to current events such as 9/11, the financial collapse, even the election of a black president (I like that one but it is meritless). I think the true source of all the angst is the fact that we live in as near a utopian society as man has even experienced and we fell guilty OR fear going back to a time when we might have to cook a meal and God drive to a store to buy a pound of coffee instead of having the man in brown bring it to us.
