Dying Earths – Lost Lives and Last Days
The parameters of this theme are meant to be broad beyond the traditional sub-genre and include science fiction, fantasy and SFF horror stories. The stories can be Vancian far future Earth tales when humanity is looking at its end, post-apocalyptic tales of collapsed eco-systems, lone human or AI on a desolate Earth, mutated human civilizations, ancient lost civilizations re-emerging in the wake of modern humans’ destruction, etc. They can be hopeful, tragic, cynical, utopian, baroque, nihilistic or comic, or all of those together. All you need is Earth, the planet, in a collapsed, degenerated, and/or desperate state.
