Listopia > Fictional Apocalypses: The World's End From Humanity
There are lots of ways that people have thought up over the course of our history about how everything may come to an end. Some are outlandish and laughable while others are reasonable enough to make us lose sleep.
This list is a record of ideas based on the world coming to an end as a result of a threat from Humanity, Society and Civilization.
Too many people. Too few people. No men. No women. No children. Crime. Murder. A crashed economy. Useless politics. A fractured system. The theme: all products of our own making. We've done it to ourselves and we have been warned.
Please list only the first book of a series.
