One of the first dystopian novels ever written, The Last Man traces the impact of an unstoppable pandemic as it slowly overtakes the world.

Beginning in the year 2073, the story follows Lionel Veseythe titular last manand his circle of friends as the disease creeps from continent to continent and erodes the foundations of civilization.
