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]]''.

* [[Time Marches On]]: They name every year that passes, by the time the book ends it's into what would be the 1980's, not that anyone's keeping track.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Isherwood.
* [[World Half Empty]]: whatWhat's left behind after the plague. Ish's Tribe, the only meaningful population center in what's left of San Francisco, consists of only a few dozen people (many of whom are his descendants) until decades after the Event when they merge with a similar group to the north.
