Alas, Babylon, by Pat Frank

4.0

This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoyed Earth Abides. Aside from being a great piece of apocalyptic fiction, this story offers some interesting insights into 1950s America. For example, after realizing canned milk will be unavailable to survivors, a couple of characters point out that mothers will have no choice but to resort to the primitive practice of breast-feeding.
