Description
The Georgia Flu, the most contagious and deadly strain of influenza the world has ever seen, rolls across the planet leaving chaos behind. Health care systems are the first to collapse, then global trade, governments fall, infrastructure crumbles. Then, the lights go out.
Twenty years later: what has become of human civilization when all its technology and advances are only fading memories? Life, more difficult and certainly more dangerous, goes on. But for some determined people, this new life should be about more than just survival: community and meaning, memories of the past and hope for the future.
At the heart of the novel is a question which is all the more relevant for our times: What remains of our society and our lives, when everything we have taken for granted is suddenly ripped away?
More than we thought, perhaps.
