Humanity survives but now has to adapt to a new, bleak reality. Be it a society where people's minds are controlled by sentient machines, an authoritarian government ruling the lives of its citizens with an iron fist, or a world where the total number of survivors is one - the stories in this collection bring a vivid and chilling vision of a dystopian future that may or may not happen.
