What will the end of civilization look like? This provocative book uses archival images to construct vivid narratives imagining the collapse of modern society.

Spanning history, author assembles photos of past disasters - economic depressions, wars, natural catastrophes - to extrapolate speculative but plausible scenarios for the fall of today's world order.

The result is a chilling visual tour through apocalyptic visions of the future, as seen through the lens of the past. Beautiful, terrifying and surreal, this book will make you confront the grim prospect of society's collapse.

The book "End Time" is accompanied by a short story "The Second Temptation of the Serpent". After enduring plagues, famines, and betrayals, the last survivors, Mada and Eve, find themselves in the garden of Nede. Hunger drives them to the brink of despair, and a mysterious serpent speaks riddles to Eve. In their final moments, they cling to each other, searching for hope. The world's end is near, and only silence remains.
