The "Dying Earth Genre" is a subgenre of speculative fiction that depicts a far-future Earth where civilization is in decline. This setting often features a sun that is dimming, landscapes that are decaying, and remnants of advanced technology. The stories typically explore themes of entropy, decay, and the struggle for survival in a world that is slowly coming to an end. Notable works in this genre include Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" series, which established many conventions of the genre. Other authors, such as Gene Wolfe and Michael Moorcock, have also contributed to this rich tapestry of imaginative storytelling, often blending fantasy and science fiction elements.
