What will the rich do in a disaster? Buy for as much safety as possible and be pissed off when their money cannot guarantee complete safety. Shocking. Not relatable at all.

A great and complex exploration of the attitude of the wealth. Set in a hotel turned safe haven, our unnamed narrator faces a nuclear disaster from a distance. Fear of strangers, group mentality, and disbelief of the government. Lots to think about in such a small book.

This definitely feels like the precursor to later disaster fiction, but the ending was too open-ended to feel satisfying.

A brief examination of life at the end of the world; help and hurt, observation and intervention, chaos and camaraderie, past and present and future and always.

“That light streamed out of every object; it shone through robes and skin and the flesh on the bones, the leaves on the trees and the moss on the mountains; it seemed suddenly to reveal the innermost, vulnerable marrow of people and plants, the sensitive growth tissue, the chalk, the iron, the blood.”
