I liked that book. I'm still trying to figure out how large a percentage of America's population died in the original wave, and how the heck would a construction site for a new house or skyscraper be possible?
Think about it: every building needs a basement foundation. These are by nature exposed corners that are difficult to escape but have to be open at the top for the concrete to dry. Drywalling a cellar suddenly requires armed guards. I don't think civilization could have survived 25 years without making construction an almost holy process.
(Damnit, why don't I have a Feed icon?)
