A pandemic is brought about by spores, the red dust, from Antarctica and most of the world's population dies. In New Zealand a survivor briefly establishes an authoritarian dystopia, but is finally overthrown by some survivors who are immune to the disease. The Immunes are changed by the spores both physically and morally and the possibility of a future eutopia is held out.
