See the future in its true color. From alternate realities and surveillance states to the cold edges of the Universe, these five speculative tales explore what happens when humanity collides with its own boundaries—and what lies beyond them. In The Last, Andrzej Wronka delivers sharp, unsettling narratives that probe consciousness, extinction, technology, and first contact with the truly alien. Dark, dense, and cerebral, this collection is written for readers who grew up with Philip K. Dick, Peter Watts, Arthur C. Clarke, and Stanisław Lem—and are ready to confront the next frontier of speculative fiction.
