Books about the end of the world
Books about the end of the world, or the world that comes after it. Stephen King's The Stand follows the survivors of a plague, Good Omens treats Armageddon as a comedy of errors, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy begins with Earth demolished for a hyperspace bypass. Katie Mack's The End of Everything looks at how the universe itself might one day end.
