George R. Stewart's Earth Abides, the Story of Another Literary Disease

Science fiction readers have long been electrified by Stewart's 1949 novel Earth Abides, a post-apocalyptic story of a small community near Berkeley after most of humanity is killed by disease. Stewart was a diverse writer with a strong interest in history, name, place, and the environment, but this thoughtful novel is his most famous work and inspired Stephen King's The Stand, various musical efforts, and the video game The Last of Us. An exploration of what is civilization with some surprisingly contemporary themes relevant during the pandemic and civil unrest.A song we mention:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGiWolvE_gY&feature=youtu.beThoughts?
