The Doomed City is a late ’s work by, according to my jacket liner, the two “greatest Russian science fiction masters”: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

The Doomed City is set in an experimental city whose sun gets switched on in the morning and switched off at night, bordered by an abyss on one side and an impossibly high wall on the other. Its inhabitants are people who were plucked from twentieth‑century history at various times and places and left to govern themselves, advised by Mentors whose purpose seems inscrutable. The Doomed City is a science fiction novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, which is widely considered among the most philosophical of their novels. The name originates from an artwork by Nicholas Roerich which "astonished a while ago with its gloomy beauty and the feeling of hopelessness radiating from it.". This novel does not belong to the Noon Universe, and does not reference, nor is it referenced by, any other of their works.
