The Bureaucratization of the Apocalypse and Other Short Writings

by Andy Fletcher

In The Bureaucratization of the Apocalypse, Andy Fletcher dissects the quiet absurdities of modern existence — faith turned procedural, morality outsourced to algorithms, and the end of the world reduced to a stack of forms that no one will ever read.

These stories and essays occupy the strange border between the spiritual and the administrative — where prayers sound like status updates, prophets have HR departments, and the apocalypse arrives on schedule, complete with error codes and compliance checklists.

With turns and twists that are darkly comic, philosophical, and hauntingly sincere, Fletcher’s writing confronts the collapse of meaning in a culture that still insists on filling out the paperwork. Whether exploring the hollow comfort of technology, the commodification of belief, or the bureaucratic beauty of decay, this collection captures the dizzying clarity of living in a world that’s ending politely.

The Bureaucratization of the Apocalypse and Other Short Writings is both elegy and audit — a record of what it feels like to live while the systems hum on and the lights flicker overhead.
