Dystopia of catastrophe in which a\ pandemic\ kills all but a few people. The novel traces the life of one survivor who explores the U.S. and then settles in his old home near San Francisco. The novel then follows the slow growth of a small community that initially live off what was left behind but ultimately create the beginnings of a new society with the skills needed to live a simple, primitive life. The title reflects a recurring theme, that the earth will slowly adjust to the absence of human beings.\ Includes interracial marriage.\ The novel is at least in part a reworking of Jack London\’s 1912 \“The Scarlet Plague.\”
