About this book
Omega: The Last Days of the World is a visionary work of early science fiction by the French astronomer Camille Flammarion, published in 1893. Its first part imagines the panic of a future twenty-fifth century as a great comet approaches the earth and scientists, priests, and crowds argue over whether it means the end of the world. Its second part sweeps far beyond that crisis into the deep future, following humanity and the planet itself across millions of years toward their inevitable end. Grounded in the real astronomy of its day and touched by a strange spiritual hope, it is a remarkable early attempt to picture the ultimate fate of our world.
