Implications - The recession and ensuing credit crunch sent the world into the doldrums, and the creative industry responded with a wave of dark, desolate themes inspired by this widespread depression. Apocalyptic imagery, blood and gore, and death and the afterlife are just some of the unsavory, angst-ridden themes used in artists' visions of our dystopian future.
