Black mass .. Apocalyptic religion and the death of utopia / John Gray

"Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia" is a non-fiction work by English political philosopher John Gray, first published in 2007. In this book, Gray examines the influence of apocalyptic and utopian thinking on modern political movements, arguing that secular ideologies often mirror religious narratives of salvation and end times. He contends that many political projects, from the French Revolution to contemporary neoconservatism, are driven by a belief in an achievable utopia, a notion he critiques as both dangerous and illusory.
