Why read it?
1 author picked The City At World's End as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not to be confused with the Doctor Who episode of the same name. City at World’s End is one of the earliest dystopian stories.
The writer, Edmond Hamilton is more famous for Captain Future and his contributions to DC comics Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman. I enjoyed this novel for its quirky characters, as well as its simplicity as a sci-fi story. It explores crowd hysteria and basic fear of change and survival. It also highlights the need for adaptably in an ever-changing society and world, that has transformed so much since the early days of science fiction.
From Robbie's list on sci-fi from the 1950s.
