Last Day, The

A science fiction cult classic. The Last Day is more than a moving call to arms for speakers of minority languages facing extinction; at its core, it's a tragic human-scale story played out between the few figures who could have stopped the madness before it was too late.

It is, moreover, a meditation on themes like free will, artificial intelligence and the socio-historical processes that contribute towards the death of a nation.

These themes are as relevant now - if not more so - as they were when the novel was written.
