A classic 1949 novel by George R. Stewart, which depicts the new tribal society which slowly arises in (the ruins of) Berkeley, California after most of humanity is wiped out by a viral plague. Features much rumination about ecology and human society. One of the first of the [[Cozy Catastrophe]] genre, and a major influence on [[Stephen King]]'s novel ''[[The Stand]]''.
