About this audiobook
A terrifying plague decimates the global population, leaving the remnants of humanity to revert to a state of primitive savagery. Decades after the collapse, an elderly survivor attempts to pass on the memory of a vanished civilization to his skeptical, tribal descendants. This chilling novella examines the fragility of our modern world and the speed with which knowledge can be lost forever. It stands as a foundational masterpiece of post-apocalyptic fiction.
