The human race faces extinction. “A book of such accelerating tension that the pages seem to turn faster as one moves along.” —Chicago Tribune Civilization itself is crumbling as suicide and despair become commonplace. Oxford historian Theodore Faron, apathetic toward a future without a future, spends most of his time reminiscing.
