Lord of the World is a dystopian science fiction novel by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson. It centers upon the reign of the Anti-Christ and the End of the World, and although it has been written more than 100 years ago, it has proven prophetic in many ways including the rise of atheism, commonplace availability of euthanasia, and a search for a Godless "peace" that justifies war and death to attain it.
