This post apocalyptic tale is from the perspective one one man, and that works very well. Especially enjoyed how disease and the breakdown of infrastructure tied in with the story of his small community. Very thought provoking, and made more enjoyable by other recent reads - The World Without Us; Genes Germs and Civilization; The Ecotechnic Future. I can see why this is on 6 different "best" science fiction lists.
