If you desire to have any hopes you might have for the far future, the triumph of progress or generally for the innate goodness that will surely win out in the independent future of humankind shattered, I can recommend Against A Dark Background by Ian M Banks.

I reckon if you take that and add forgetful reincarnation (to deal with the 'what happens when you die again' problem), you get a pretty good approximation of Hell.

Melodrama factor may be increased by the way I spent all day interacting with people cheerfully in a sunny field dressed as a cowgirl and now my legs won't stop hurting.

And I have some kind of Important Client Meeting on Wednesday which I have been implored by several different people to Dress Smartly for, none of which could give me a concise summary of how I could construct Smartly out of my current wardrobe without dying of heat exhaustion in London.

But at least I have nice red shoes.

I am not sure whether to go and attempt to be pious now or just to bury myself in LOTRO and pretend that the world does not exist or at least that I have no hand in the fate of it.
