We may like to imagine we know what the end of the world will be like - and maybe it will not be dissimilar to our own individual ends. Blue Light shows what it's like, the running down, the onset of rigor mortis, the new life sprouting, notwithstanding.
Living for ever may not be too bad - but do we really want it? When the world has ended, how attractive is rebirth, or resurrection? Starting Over may mean we have to piece a whole new world together - just using the ruins of the past.

Fraser's work is conceived on a heroic scale in terms both of its ideas and its situational metaphors. If he were to be filmed, it would need the combined talents of a Bunuel, a Gilliam, a Cameron. Like Thomas Pynchon, whom in some ways he resembles, Fraser is a deep and serious fantasist, wildly inventive. The reader rides as on a switchback or luge of impetuous attention, with effects flashing by at virtuoso speeds. The characters seem to be unwitting agents of chaos, however much wise reflection the author bestows upon them. They move with shrugging self-assurance through circumstances as richly-detailed and as without reliable compass-points as a Chinese scroll.
