Science Fiction
A chilling what if? tale of nuclear apocalypse in the
American heartland Philip Wylie’s gripping parable Tomorrow! describes a time
in America when doomsday threatens to dawn at any moment. A
nation’s worst nightmare is made palpably real, seen through
the eyes of a diverse group of ordinary citizens in two
adjacent Great Plains metropolises. Wylie brings this
holocaust to life with blood-chilling detail in his
extraordinary science fiction classic whose power to shock
and terrify is as strong as ever more than fifty years after
its original release.
An unthinkable tomorrow is on the horizon. For the citizens
of the neighboring Midwest cities of Green Prairie and River
City, today marks the end of everything. Some are prepared
to face the unthinkable; some refuse to believe it could
ever happen. As the winter holidays approach, two young
lovers share their dreams for the future, a corrupt bank
officer fears the exposure of his crimes, and a wealthy
matron, concerned only with status and prestige, wonders how
she can ensure a marriage between her daughter and the scion
of one of the city’s most important families. But on
Christmas Day, when a terrible fire lights up the sky, all
these petty human concerns become meaningless. And the
destruction and horror wrought on that awful morning will
only be the beginning of the end.
