Based on the novel "Earth Abides" by George R
Line of Events
After months of isolation, Isherwood "Ish" Williams learns that most of the world has been stricken by a mysterious disease. Yet despite his instinct for further isolation, Ish leads the charge to develop a new civilization..
The novel was written in the late 1940s, after the end of World War II
Stewart.. Featured in Korman Productions Deep Dive TV Podcast: Earth Abides on MGM+ Deep Dive Episode 1 "Alone" with Dave and Stacey (2024).
The version on my shelf has a copyright of 1947, but wikipedia says 1949
The impact of the story is that 80 years ago someone wrote about a global pandemic and its eventual impact on people. Ish represents the reader, someone who didn’t have to watch people die, watch the news, feel the hopelessness and defeat.
This is very much in line with the poem Ozymandias
Those he meets represent the ways in which people can cope with these enormous losses. The fragility of man and the courage of humanity in its achievements.

I look forward to the remaining episodes and re-reading the novel again.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
