Alex Morse reviewed Earth Abides by George R. Stewart
The story of rebuilding civilization after a plague nearly wipes out the human race.
Often overlooked, but foundational
4 stars
Written in 1949, this story portrays the collapse of civilization due to a pandemic.
Very believable exploration of the fall, and how communities re-form and rebuild. Not optimistic, but very grounded and not pessimistic either. One of the inspirations for "The Stand"
