Against the Fall of Night
Last updated October 31, 2026
Far in the future, humanity lives inside Diaspar, a sealed and unchanging city surrounded by desert. Its people have no wish to leave, and most fear the world outside. Alvin, a restless young man unlike anyone around him, longs to know what lies beyond the walls. His search takes him across the desert and into the deep past of the human race. Arthur C. Clarke later rewrote the story as The City and the Stars.
