Vidal delivers an end-times satire with teeth, following a charismatic guru who declares himself Kalki—the final avatar destined to wipe out humanity—and gathers a cult ready to help him do it. As the world leans into spiritual desperation and media spectacle, Vidal peels back the layers with his trademark wit and venom, exposing the absurdity of power, prophecy, and blind belief. Darkly funny, unsettling, and razor-smart, Kalki reads like an apocalypse conceived by a cynic who knows exactly how easily people can be led to their own destruction.
