The chapter starts with an analysis of Frederic Jameson’s saying, commonly rendered as “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”. Following Carol J. Adams’ notion of the “absent referent”, the author shows that—somewhat counterintuitively, the problem of the end of the world is unthought in this adage. Having analysed numerous instances of what we refer to as “ends of the world”, the author finally suggests that the reason we so readily accept Jameson’s saying as true is that we imagine the world as a thing (e.g., the planet, humankind or the universe) and imagine capitalism as a set of rules. Therefore, imagining the end of the world should entail a radically different set of rules, which can be achieved through engaging in a version of what Quentin Meillassoux calls “Extro-Science Fiction”.
