Beyond your ruins of San Francisco, a former UC Berkeley teacher of literature recounts the chilling sequence of events which resulted in his current lowly state – a gruesome pandemic which killed nearly every living soul on the planet, in a matter of times. Modern civilization tottered and dropped, and a new race of barbarians – the western world’s brutalized employees – assumed power all over the place. Over the area of the few decades, all learning continues to be dropped. Unlike the professor on Gilligan’s Isle, the narrator may be the least useful person in a growing tribe, whose young generation are mostly descended from the tribe’s brutish founder. He was known only by the name of his former occupation, therefore the tribe’s name is definitely: Chauffeur.
