The cabin had always been a special retreat for Isherwood Williams, a haven from the demands of society. But one day while hiking, Ish was bitten by a rattlesnake, and the solitude he had so desired took on dire new significance. Ish headed home when he finally felt himself again—and noticed the strangeness almost immediately. No cars passed him on the road; the gas station not far from his cabin looked abandoned; and he was shocked to see the body of a man on the roadside near a small town. Without a radio or phone, Ish had no idea of humanity’s abrupt demise.

Retrospective and thoughtful piece from a different time
Revisado: 10-25-21
The hook for this story is super interesting, but it kind of falls flat where you least expect it, and the parts you didnt expect become a big focus of the story. This is not about a guy wandering a dead world, but instead a study on how our world and its surviving people would change if humans disappeared overnight. If you liked “On the Beach” by Neville Schute, you will like this! But this book is definitely not as action-packed as The Stand or Swan Song. And there are of course problematic stances on women and minorities since this was written more than half a century ago.
