One well - known 'the lords of the last days' science fiction work could be 'The Hunger Games'. In this story, it's set in a post - apocalyptic world where the Capitol lords over the districts, and there are elements of a fight for survival and power.
There's also 'Divergent'. It presents a future society that is divided into factions, and there are those in power, like the lords in a sense, who control the way of life. The main character has to navigate this complex and often dangerous world which has a lot of the end - of - days kind of feel with the social unrest and power struggles.
Survival is also key. The common people have to find ways to survive under the rule of these lords. For example, in many such stories, they have to scavenge for food and resources while avoiding the wrath of the powerful. In a more detailed sense, in stories like 'The Road', the father and son are constantly on the run from various threats in a world that has been destroyed, and there are those who have power (like the lords) over the meager resources left. This shows how survival becomes a central theme as people try to exist in the shadow of these powerful entities.
I'm not aware of any specific works directly titled 'one thousand days science fiction' off the bat. But there are many science fiction novels and stories that deal with time - based concepts. For instance, '2001: A Space Odyssey' has a long - term exploration aspect. You could look for works that explore long - term space missions or future projections over a significant period of time.
One well - known LDS last days fiction novel is 'The Work and the Glory' series by Gerald N. Lund. It vividly depicts the early days of the Latter - day Saint movement and the challenges faced by the characters during those times.
Edgar Allan Poe also dabbled in what could be considered early science fiction in the 1800s. His stories often had elements of the macabre combined with scientific or technological concepts. For example, 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall' which involved a journey to the moon in a rather unique and early take on space travel stories.
Sure. 'Dune' is an excellent days science fiction book. It has a richly detailed universe with complex politics, unique cultures, and a hero's journey. Another good one is '1984', which, while more of a dystopian novel, has strong science - fiction elements. And 'Brave New World' is also worth reading. It presents a different vision of a future society controlled by technology and conditioning.
Sure. 'The Martian' is a great one. It tells the story of an astronaut stranded on Mars and his struggle to survive. It's full of scientific details and exciting plot twists.
Well, 'A Sound of Thunder' by Bradbury as well. It's a micro - fiction that delves into the concept of time travel and how small changes in the past can have huge consequences in the present. It shows Bradbury's amazing ability to pack a big idea into a short story.
In terms of character development, 'The Last Policeman' may have its own characteristics. Some soft science fiction works may have a large cast of characters with various abilities related to the science - fictional elements. But in 'The Last Policeman', the characters are more grounded in the reality of a world that is about to end. Their development is more about how they cope with the impending doom and their relationships in such a harsh environment, which is different from works where characters develop based on their interactions with new scientific or technological concepts.
I'm afraid I can't recommend works in 'oic science fiction' because I don't have enough information about it. It might be a new or local genre that hasn't reached a broad audience yet, so there's no established list of works that I can point to.
I'm not sure about a specific work named 'cranch science fiction' directly. But if you like science fiction in general, works like 'Dune' by Frank Herbert are great. It has a richly detailed world with unique cultures and advanced technology.
