Earth Abides 2024– Full Movie Watch Here
Yet, despite his isolationist instincts, Ish leads a new civilization
Scenario
After months of isolation, Isherwood "Ish" Williams discovers that most of the world has been stricken with a mysterious disease. Based on the novel "Earth Abides" by George R.
The novel was written in the late 1940s, after the end of World War II
Stewart. Referenced in Korman Productions Deep Dive TV Podcast: Earth Abides on MGM+ Deep Dive Episode 1 "Alone" with Dave and Stacy (2024).
The version on my shelf is copyrighted 1947, but Wikipedia says 1949
The story feels like someone 80 years ago was writing about a global pandemic and its potential impact on people. Ish represents the reader, someone who hasn’t had to watch people die, watch the news, feel the hopelessness and defeat.
It ties in very well with the poem by Ozymandias
Those he meets reflect the ways in which people can cope with these enormous losses. The fragility of man and the bravado of humanity in its achievements.

I look forward to the remaining episodes and rereading the novel. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming debuts this month.
