Based on the novel “Earth Abides” by George R

After months of isolation, Isherwood “Ish” Williams discovers that most of the world has succumbed to a mysterious disease. Yet despite his instincts to further isolate himself, Ish leads the charge to develop a new civilization.

The novel was written in the late 1940s, after the end of World War II

The version on my shelf has a 1947 copyright, 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 despair and defeat.

It ties in very much with the poetry of Ozymandias

Those he meets represent the ways in which people might cope with these enormous losses. The fragility of man and the boldness of humanity in its successes.

I can’t wait to see the remaining episodes and I’m rereading the novel once again. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
