Apocalypse

The extinction of the human race took place, approximately, by the late XXXII century. It happened like this: The machines had reached such perfection that men did not need to eat or to sleep, to talk or to read, to write or to think... or to do anything. They only had to press a button and the machines did everything for them. Gradually, things started to disappear... tables, chairs, roses, disks with the nine symphonies of Beethoven, antique shops, the wines from Bordeaux, Flemish tapestries, all of Verdi's , chess, telescopes , Gothic cathedrals, football stadiums, the Pieta of Michelangelo, the ruins of Trajan's Forum, automobiles, rice, giant sequoias, the Parthenon. There were only machines. Then, in August, the men began to notice they too were gradually disappearing... while the machines were multiplying. It didn't take long for the number of men to become less than half while the machines' doubled. The machines eventually occupied all available spaces... no one could take a step or make a gesture without tripping over them. Finally, the men were eliminated. As they forgot to unplug the machines, we continue to operate.
