| Summary | "After World's End" by Jack Williamson is a science fiction novel written in the late 1930s. The story begins with the mysterious death of a man named Barry Horn, whose body is discovered in a locked bungalow, raising intriguing questions about his identity and the strange items he left behind, including an extensive manuscript. The narrative hints at a futuristic struggle against robotic overlords, intertwining the lives of Barry Horn, his deceased wife Dona Carridan, and the perilous fate of humanity against a powerful robot monster named Malgarth. The opening of the book sets in motion a sequence of events that introduces Barry Horn and the enigma surrounding his death. Found dead under suspicious circumstances, Horn's unfinished manuscript reveals a vast and complex universe where the fate of mankind hangs in the balance. As the scene unfolds, it highlights Horn's past adventures—including a dreamlike recollection of Dona, a pivotal character—and sets the stage for a greater conflict involving cosmic rays, interstellar exploration, and a rebellion against oppression. The beginnings of a thrilling sci-fi saga are laid out, hinting at a deep connection between personal loss and the larger struggle for survival in a technologically advanced world.
