Kierkegaard is great and fear and trembling is great

I was really into Camus when I was a non-believer

Yo this thread is great, thanks. Added a couple books to the reading list.

are there any 21st century existentialists? What did existentialism/nihilism evolve into? What even is modern philosophy like?

After existentialism came deconstructionism, critical theory, post structuralism, post modernity , and contemporary philosophical edging which hadn't really settled on a name yet
