The story of rebuilding civilization after a plague nearly wipes out the human race.

Great book

I found it appealing that it is a post apocalyptic story without any weird, crazy things happening. A thoughtful look at how new societies might form through the eyes of one "survivor". A tad optimistic about how long some modern conveniences would continue to last me thinks, but that is easily overlooked. Well written.
