The notion of the isolated and remote island has attained a central role in today’s ideas of end-times and survival fantasies. Billionaires and tech oligarchs are preparing for the apocalypse by investing in property in New Zealand, or they fabulate about creating insular microstates and ‘seasteads’ in international waters. Whereas the superrich carry on an age-old notion of the island as a utopian possibility, they defile the same notion into an exclusive escape pod to flee the global breakdown they seem hell-bent on accelerating.
