S. Fowler Wright ~6 hr read

A man of our own age is projected half a million years into the future, into a strange, waning Earth ruled by the enigmatic Dwellers and their giant rivals, the Amphibians.

S. Fowler Wright's 1929 novel is a visionary far-future and post-apocalyptic classic. Sweeping, strange, profound. Read it for a landmark of British SF, a haunting journey into the deep future, where humanity is long gone and Earth belongs to alien successor races, in a richly imagined philosophical romance of evolution, wonder, and the ultimate fate of the world.
