Death-Cast
Adam Silvera · 3 novels · 2017–2025
They Both Die at the End is set in a world where a service called Death-Cast calls people on the morning of the day they will die, and follows two strangers who connect through an app built for exactly that situation, choosing to spend their last day together. Adam Silvera's novel became a viral hit years after its original release, later gaining a prequel and further entries exploring other characters within the same premise. The series stays within a single fixed speculative conceit rather than expanding into a wider plot.
