City of Endless Night

Published shortly after World War I, 'City of Endless Night' by Milo Hastings is an early example of dystopian science fiction set in the year 2151. The story follows Lyman De Forrest, an American chemist who ventures into an underground Berlin, home to a regimented society of 300 million sun-starved inhabitants. As the first outsider to explore this forbidden metropolis, he uncovers horrifying truths about life in this subterranean world and faces the challenge of escaping its oppressive confines.
