Summary "End as a World" by F. L. Wallace is a science fiction narrative likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the 1950s. The story explores profound themes about the end of the world, weaving in elements of suspense and intrigue through the eyes of its youthful characters as they wrestle with their perceptions of an impending apocalypse. The book delves into societal reactions, the uncertainty of fate, and the way people come together in moments of existential crisis. The plot follows a group of boys, particularly focusing on Paul Eberhard and his friends, as they navigate the day when they believe the world will end. Despite mundane activities and typical childhood concerns, an overwhelming sense of dread and anticipation permeates their actions. As news spreads about the final moments before the world's supposed annihilation, the narrative captures their thoughts, conversations, and the collective anxiety of society. Ultimately, the end they expected culminates not in destruction but in the wondrous emergence of something new, reflecting both a physical and symbolic rebirth of the universe as the boys—and humanity—experience a transformative moment in a quiet yet powerful way.
