A review by livinglifeliterary
Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank

4.0

I'm just leaning into the apocalypse at this point. This book is extremely woke for its time and even though it still was glaringly obvious that this was written in 1959, I was pleasantly surprised about the feminist (well not really feminist but maybe less anti-woman than most literature from this time tended to be) and anti-racist undertones. Also, it's really sad that a lot of the problems in this book are still problems we face today, in 2020. Florida is the perfect place for the apocalypse.
