Armageddon—2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan
"Armageddon—2419 A.D." by Philip Francis Nowlan is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Anthony Rogers, who awakens in 2419 after being in suspended animation for nearly five centuries, only to discover a future where America is subjugated by Mongolian powers and its inhabitants must fight for their freedom. The novel explores themes of survival, resistance, and the clash of civilizations. The opening of the novel
sets the stage for Rogers' astonishing transformation from a man of the early 20th century to a survivor in a dystopian future. He begins by recounting his life before entering suspended animation, including his work as a scientist investigating radioactive gases. After a mining accident leaves him unconscious, he awakens to an America that is unrecognizable and largely dominated by the Han civilization, which has rendered the American people into an oppressed and hunted race. As he navigates this new world, he encounters Wilma Deering, a strong and capable member of a resistance group. Their subsequent adventures reveal a hidden and emerging civilization among the forest-dwelling Americans, who are preparing to rise up against their oppressors.
