The theme of the end of the world, one of the main ones in science fiction, has been exciting people's minds for many years. With a shudder and involuntary curiosity, we imagine the moment of the death of all things, secretly hoping to get a chance to rebuild this world anew. This anthology contains works that embody various scenarios of how life on Earth can be destroyed as a result of a plague or a flood, a nuclear war or a collision with a comet, an alien invasion, or the latest technology running out of control. Masters such as Stephen Baxter, Fritz Leiber, Frederick Pohl, Alastair Reynolds, Robert Silverberg and many others offer their interpretation of the apocalypse. Dire warnings and detailed survival instructions for those who remember that every day could be their last.
