"Age of Miracles" - an original look at the end of the world
This dystopian novel was written by Karen Thompson Walker. Despite the life-affirming name, there are practically no miracles in the book itself. But there is an unusual description of the end of the world - without volcanic eruptions, alien invasions or meteorites. According to Walker, the Apocalypse may occur due to the fact that the Earth will gradually slow down its course. Slower rotation will lead to changes in climate and animal behavior, gravity and ocean tides. People will be defenseless in the face of solar radiation and powerful tsunamis, and astronauts will not be able to return to Earth. But the book reveals not only fantastic hypotheses, but also the psychology of heroes, a story of love, friendship and hope.
Karen Thompson Walker wrote her novel in the morning, before the main work, devoting several minutes to her hobby.
