The Plague: Civilization’s Near Self-Destruction
A cautionary tale of our need to evolve as a species.
In the near future, a terrifying, lethal plague of global proportions arrives. People start dropping like flies. Nothing can stop it. The streets are littered with corpses. Panic reigns. An investigative reporter sets out to find the cause. He interviews scores of experts in various fields. In time, a cause is discovered. By then, one-third of earth’s population has been killed off. Who’s next? What now? As abruptly as it began, the plague stops. The six billion people left, unharmed, are frightened. How will they live, now? What effect will this devastating catastrophe have on their way of life? Much to everyone’s surprise, life goes on. Not life as we have traditionally known it, but a new, different way of living. Money, career, war, medicine, politics, and education are but a few of the many areas of our life transformed since the plague. Cautiously adjusting at first, then quicker, seizing the new world order gets easier and easier. Can we relax and enjoy? Are we home free? Are there more surprises waiting in the wings?
