M. John Harrison's novel "The End of Everything" has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize, but has divided critics and readers. The book is set in a post-apocalyptic England where mysterious entities called iGhetti have appeared. The narrative follows characters like Phillip Tennent, who finds a growing artifact, and his aunt Marnie, as they navigate a world filled with unexplained violence and a pervasive sense of confusion. Harrison intentionally avoids clear explanations, leading some to call the work a masterpiece and others to find it incomprehensible. AI
