01 - THE BLURRING OF LINES. The Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The Poison Belt is a 1913 science fiction novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his recurring character Professor Challenger, and is a sequel to The Lost World. The plot follows Challenger as he predicts Earth will pass through a belt of poisonous ether, prompting him to summon his companions to his home, where they seal themselves in a room with oxygen to survive the global catastrophe unfolding outside. The story is notable for its claustrophobic setting and its depiction of humanity's potential end, with the group watching the world succumb to the gas from their sealed room.
