The Night Land, by William Hope Hodgson

Published 1912 - in the plot, humanity lives in an arcology, waiting for demon gods to kill it off - this blogger postulates that the book draws on Darwinian-inspired worries about "deep time," and relates it to Lovecraft's Cthulu stories.

Reminds me also that I need to look at EM Forster's story about the arcology, "The Machine Stops," published in 1909, in which humans live underground provided for by a universal Machine. In this story, it's a young person who figures out how to escape.
