What would the earth look like if humans suddenly disappeared? An audacious new book imagines a people-free planet, and restores our sense of awe.
  • Omni magazine

    Years ago, I'm guessing 1990 or 1991, Omni magazine published a short story that started with the death of the last man on earth and then followed the gradual decay and disappearance from the planet of all signs that man had ever been here.

    It was a haunting story that I never had the chance to finish, because I was reading it in the lobby of Jiffy Lube and they managed to change the oil in my truck before I got to the end. I always wanted to go back and find that story again. I never learned the name of the author.
