4.0

Survival is insufficient. This is the main premise of the book and my main thought when reading apocalypse novels. They typically show what happens in the immediate aftermath, but this addresses what happens YEARS later when the world is sick of just surviving. 
Ultimately, we must keep moving forward. We as human being are always moving forward looking for what’s next. 
This book perfectly captured that base need. 

It’s one of those books you want your English teacher to ask you to write an essay about I think.
