Synopsis: "When the collapse of modern civilization occurred in the mid twenty-first century, through a combination of war and disease which devastated human-kind, it might have seemed that there was no way back for us. But later, as the earth began to heal, something of a renaissance occurred and a struggle to endure began. It saw us first cling on, then recover and slowly come back. After taking a small step away from the edge of extinction, it appeared that we would find the will to survive after all." — quoted from this book's product page on Amazon as of 2018-06-22.
