About This Book
A solitary man wakes beside the corpse of a famous actress and, overwhelmed by rage and grief, moves through a ruined city to learn whether he is truly alone. Flashbacks and observations trace a slow ecological and societal collapse: animals died first, then a mysterious human pandemic emptied nations, leaving deserted streets, looted buildings, and malfunctioning technology. He recalls a complacent era of abundance and pride, confronts the stench and wreckage of New York, and heads for the centralized records office to confirm the fate of humanity, all the while coping with loneliness, guilt, and the surreal normalcy of everyday objects and music.
