Description
The Last and First Men was written by English philosopher, poet, communist, and science fiction author Olaf Stapledon and originally published in 1930. Stapledon’s speculative chronicle races across two billion years, tracing eighteen successive human species. From contemporary downfall through to Martian wars, utopian peaks, and planetary migrations. Humanity mutates, rises, and falls variously. Each phase of Man confronts ethical, social, and cosmic challenges until the final telepathic Eighteenth Men face extinction beneath a dying sun.
