End of Everything

I wonder whether, since

 “The End of Everything” became the winner
of the Booker Prize, the rationale of the biblical depiction
of creation may be to tell the world that God was the Beginner,
not just of all the universe but of science fiction,
a category whose triumphs and catastrophes are depicted
by a program that’s not generated by computer chips.

It fails always to fulfil what by it is unrealistically predicted,
the end of everything, a scientifically uncertain apocalypse.

In The New York Times, 11/8/26, Alex Marshall, reviewing “The End of Everything” by John Harrison, winner of the Booker Prize, writes:
When M. John Harrison began his writing career, in the 1960s, he sometimes spoke with other science fiction writers about the genre’s poor reputation.
“Why shouldn’t a well written S.F. be considered to be literary fiction?” he recalled asking, during a recent BBC interview.

Some 60 years later, the idea that sci-fi writing cannot hit heights of literature has long disappeared. And on Monday, Harrison’s “The End of Everything,”

a novel that imagines aliens overrunning Britain, won the Booker Prize, the prestigious literary award.
