Editors' Introduction

It's a common fantasy to imagine that you're the last person left

Us, a new book by science writer Alan Weisman, an associate professor
of journalism at the University of Arizona. In this extended thought

sapiens; instead he simply assumes the abrupt disappearance of our
species and projects the sequence of events that would most likely
occur in the years, decades and centuries afterward....
