Description
When there is no more future for us, will you be surprised at what you will be doing when the end comes?
The question, about how the world will end, is as old as we are. But as we are carried onwards, towards an ever more uncertain future on an overpopulated planet which appears to be destined for destruction, the question seems to take on an ever greater significance.
Future's Ending is a collection of short Science Fiction stories which looks at the possible outcomes for an out-of-control world.
Each story is unique and distinct and they move through a variety of genre ideas, carrying a wide range of perspectives from the author. With tales of artificial intelligence, time travel, eternal life, and other themes which define the futuristic genre, this is a collection which takes inspiration from Science-Fiction giants such as Robert Heinlein and Ray Bradbury.
The stories in Future's Ending use the unpredictable nature of mankind and the unsolvable problem of overpopulation as their foundation, offering thrilling and inspiring tales which will keep readers turning the pages until the very end.

Featured Reviews
I received an ARC ebook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
4/5 stars.
FUTURE'S ENDING is an interesting story collection that revolve about the same idea: What if the world as we know it ended? The author explores several world-ending catastrophic events, and their aftermath.
However, the events and stories get repetitious. My guess it's because they happen in the same "word" so to speak. Yet, some tales feel incomplete, but I assume the author intention is to play with our minds--spark a thought or something. Nevertheless, the whole "World Ending" theme raises concerns about global warming, nuclear war (or nuclear stupidity), among other eerie situations. *shiver*
In summary, a good--not great--science fiction anthology with cautionary tales.
