There was an episode of Babylon 5 called "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars" that shows the future history of mankind from the 23rd century right through to the distant future, so distant that Sol is about to go nova. The remaining human on Earth is in actuality an evolved human who leaves to join his kind beyond the rim of the explored space, to a new earth.
Humanity's future is full of highs and lows, but eventually, untold years into the future, humans have evolved to become far more.
Stories like that give me hope for the future.
I read for enjoyment, not to be made miserable by a depressing book.
