Houellebecq for fictional take on modernity and futility of it all.
Ligotti for 3rd millennium Schopenhauer+Cioran dressed in fiction, especially The Conspiracy Against the Human Race.
Ray Brassier's Nihil Unbound for why nothing matters.
Evolutionary psychology for why things aren't going to get better.
