    This story is the ancestor of the entire genre of post-apocalyptic fiction. Quick and interesting reading with alarmingly accurate predictions for the future.

Quotes

    There were four hundred of us, and individuals had to be sacrificed.
  • cattybuhas quoted6 years ago
    While the world crashed to ruin about them and all the air was filled with the smoke of its burning, these low creatures gave rein to their bestiality and fought and drank and died. And after all, what did it matter? Everybody died anyway, the good and the bad, the efficients and the weaklings, those that loved to live and those that scorned to live. They passed. Everything passed.
