After reading them, I have wondered how much of the protests of the '60's and '70's were a reaction to the stark, dark future kids were facing at that time.

Babylon was fascinating because there is not a lot of action (a great ambush shootout late in the book), but he keeps your interest up. A really good read, there's a reason it's considered a classic.

One Second After is in this same vein. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...nav_sb_ss_1_16
Alas, Babylon is probably the standard bearer for this genre IMO

I’m enjoying working through that series. Not the best by any means but I like the post apocalyptic world building.

The Postman was pretty good as was The Dog Stars. As a matter of fact, I think I would put The Dog Stars at the top of the list instead of Alas Babylon. Much more personal story concentrated on the two guys who survived together. I might have to re-read.

Speaking of the KJ Bible, we’re in a Bible study where guys have varying versions. It’s interesting, for one example, the editing of a NIV Bible in the last 20 years. The use of “and women/female” added to the phrase “men/male” and the use of the collective “they/them”.

English is a moving language, as long as it keeps the original meaning based on how we talk now without trying to hide truth, Im all for it.
