One book on the list:Canticle for Lebowitz, by Walter Miller, Jr.Read about another entry on the list.
An even darker (and less whimsical) version of [Olaf Stapledon's] Last and First Men can be found in this horrifically depressing novel, where humanity is doomed to repeat its mistakes and obliterate itself in war over and over again. There is no hope for us to really evolve beyond where we are now — human civilization is always rising only to strangle itself.
--Marshal Zeringue
