The Mammoth Book of the End of the World (2010) anthology

Editor Mike Ashley has compiled an apocalyptic fiction anthology titled The Mammoth Book of the End of the World (2010).

The Prophet and the Astronomer (2001) book

Marcelo Gleiser's 2001 book, The Prophet and the Astronomer: A Scientific Journey to the End of Time, examines the relation between predictions of the end of the universe by cosmographers and astrophysicists and religious and philosophical revelations of the apocalypse. This work was originally published in Portuguese under the title O fim da Terra e do Céu: O apocalipse na ciência e na religião, and was translated into English by the author.

The Rest is Speculation (2009) short story

Eric Brown's short story "The Rest is Speculation" was first published in the anthology The Mammoth Book of Mindblowing SF edited by Mike Ashley. The story is compelling and mindblowing indeed as we witness the tragic and grand end of Earth and the solar system while simultaneously witnessing the birth of a new universe, about which, as the title says, the rest is speculation.
