A review by ninj
Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon

4.0

Starts off from present day (as of publication, 1930) and extrapolates out some very nice 20th / 21st century history that seems almost prophetic at times. Stretches out for millions upon millions of years of the human race, with a large focus on evolution. Suffers from the sort of things a lot of century old sci-fi does, but raises so many interesting issues that so many other books touch upon, it keeps you reflecting back upon it.
