In between writing and editing stories, I took some time out this weekend to put together some cover concepts for the book! It turns out to be hard to depict the end of the world without being very depressing, but I have two possible designs that I think capture the character and mood of the book very well. 

I would love your input as to which cover you like better. You can see both options here:

Just leave a comment which which design you prefer, or if you have other ideas on the cover design please send me those as well! Also, let me know how you feel about the tagline "Tales of technology and armageddon". 

I look forward to posting up some excerpts from other stories in the coming weeks, along with some concept art that I have been working on to help the writing process. 

Cheers,

Sean

Greetings!

I am excited about all of the interest in The End, it has exceeded all of my expectations. I look forward to producing a book that all of you will enjoy.

Most of the stories that will form the chapters of The End are either already written, in draft form or well developed outlines. I have started to put together a table of contents so you know what kinds of technologies and topics those stores will cover, and you can see it for yourself below:

The End: Chapter Listing

1. Quorum (Genetics)
2. Passphrase (Data Privacy/Security)
3. Orbit (Astrophysics)
4. Monsoon (Environmental Engineering)
5. Transport (Smart Weapons)
6. Dead Too Much (Medical Science)

These cover about half of the total stories I expect to form the final book. I would love to include at least one story that covers a technology or science suggested by one of you, the loyal supporters of the book! 

So, please, suggest technologies in the comments and I will write a story based on one of the suggestions for inclusion in the final product. I look forward to seeing what you suggest.

Cheers,
Sean
