The Last Man

Set in a dystopian future, the narrative unfolds in the late 21st Century, where an unknown pandemic devastates humanity. The story not only explores themes of survival and loss but also reflects on English culture and politics, with insights drawn from Mary Shelley's observations of the House of Commons. The novel is a poignant tribute to her late husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and her friend Lord Byron, intertwining personal grief with the broader implications of societal collapse.
