Originally written in 1949, this was one of the first "post-apocolyptic" novels. I read it for a college course in 1980, I have vivid memories of it. The author was a professor of Geography at UC Berkeley, and the main character was a geography student, so the insights of the author/main character resonate with me. Later editions of the book were edited, because a major sub-plot was whether after civilization was destroyed the white middle class main character would hook up with a woman of color.
