The book explores themes of societal decay and human extinction, presenting a future where mankind has reached a horrifying conclusion to its own existence. It narrates a grim tale about the consequences of civilization's choices and the toll it takes on humanity. The story unfolds through the eyes of a protagonist who is whisked away by a temporal wind, allowing him to witness the fate that befalls humanity. The narrative presents various scenes, including a proclamation of sterilization by a king, Joshua Harris, and the establishment of clubs dedicated to mutual extermination. As civilization crumbles due to its own misguided ambitions, the story illustrates the stark contrast between the lingering beauty of art and nature and the grim reality of societal collapse. The protagonist ultimately finds himself in a garden of the last generation, a paradise that harbors its own sorrows, where members live in quiet desperation as they await their end amid the ruins of humanity. The book serves as a cautionary tale about the perilous trajectory of society, urging readers to reflect on the human condition.
