Science Fiction » in reply to Earth Abides, by George Stewart

Agree

I recently read Earth Abides and felt it was the most likely way for humanity to slump back into the stone age. I wrote a short review of it a while back on this board.

I just finished Station Eleven this weekend. It reminded me a lot of Earth Abides, but with more interesting characters and a nonlinear format that was a lot like putting together a puzzle without seeing the box top. The closer you got to the end, it all fit together in a satisfying way.

Station Eleven had a more optimistic ending than Earth Abides, but my sense is that once entropy on that scale starts there is no stopping it until humanity hits rock bottom.
