Cocks & The Apocalyspe

Welcome to the scorched terrain of the digital underworld -- where damaged men speak in riddles, lust, and lies. In Cocks & The Apocalypse, artist and academic Sue Fox excavates a strange brotherhood of online avatars and real-world encounters: a sniper turned survivalist, a fallen pornstar, a messianic games developer, a self-proclaimed prophet-poet, a martial arts master with a fractured code, and a parade of scammers, publishers, and psy-op tricksters. Drawn from archived MSN chats, MySpace missives, and early Facebook threads, this memoir offers a forensic reading of masculinity in collapse -- dissecting the mythologies these men construct, the fantasies they spin, and the dangerous charms they wield. Fox's own voice -- sharp, lyrical, uncompromising -- cuts through the noise, threading dark humour with psychoanalytic insight. This is no nostalgia trip. Cocks & The Apocalypse is a raw document of a pre-Instagram internet, where identity was unstable, language was weaponised, and performance bled into pathology. A punk ethnography of the wounded male psyche, it is also a searing meditation on intimacy, power, and the absurdities of connection at the edge of the end times.
