	* [[1984\|Nineteen Eighty Four]] / I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream / [[Xeelee Sequence]] - All three are strong contenders for the most Grimdark story ever put to paper, experts are currently divided. The first takes place in a (possibly) post-apocalyptic Earth split between three totalitarian superpowers that are constantly at war despite sharing the same nihilistic ideology with unaffiliated nations serving as the battlegrounds/prizes, and the hero is an ordinary man who gets captured, tortured and thoroughly mindfucked by the police into accepting the rule of the Party. The second takes place in a post-apocalyptic underground city where a psychotic supercomputer tortures the last five living people while keeping them alive and from killing each other; the protagonist "wins" by mercy-killing the other four but his moral victory is tempered by the fact he is trapped forever at the mercy of the machine. The third takes place in a nightmare hellscape where the entire universe is dying between a cosmic war of two god-like races, whilst the human race has degenerated to such levels of bastardry, that the actions of stripmining entire galactic superclusters or committing a xenocidal killing-spree across the universe that stretched for millions of years is a mere dip in the ocean. There is no hope or salvation, heroism is not only dead but outright outlawed, absolute surveillance and total control due to mass time-travel usage, as an incalculable amount of human child soldiers would die for nothing. Meanwhile the surviving races are fighting tooth and nail, killing each other as they are trying to escape a reality that is collapsing in on itself.		* [[1984\|Nineteen Eighty Four]] / I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream / [[Xeelee Sequence]] - All three are strong contenders for the most Grimdark story ever put to paper, experts are currently divided.
