As much as the title and reviews pushed me to believe this was a modern classic whose cautionary tale persists even today. Instead I was met with a cool concept and sadly boring execution. Despite the short length of the novella, I was still slogging through three page long chapters and prose that shows its age. Maybe I'm not inclined toward older books, but I had come into this with slightly too high expectations. A tale of survivors who live in luxury despite the apocalypse sound so investing, but this just wasn't my cup of tea. Too little happens and too much is left in the air.
