Nostradamus: The Prophecy Machine Rebuilt After Every Crisis
In July 1999, television programmes counted down to the end of the world. They read a line from Nostradamus: “In the year 1999, seven months, from the sky will come a great King of Terror.” Viewers were told to expect an asteroid, a nuclear war, or a destroyer from above. July passed and the world did not end. The prophecy did not disappear. Its meaning was moved to another crisis and the story continued.
