Das waren Leute vom Rand der Gesellschaft, Verschwörungstheoretiker oder Weltuntergangskultisten mit einem fatalistischen Blick auf die Welt. Er selbst war ein Optimist.

Doch dann ging die Welt unter, und ihm wurde klar, dass er falsch lag.

Die Welt, durch die ihn seine Reise führt, ist nicht mehr so, wie er sie in Erinnerung hatte, bevor eine Seuche zwei Drittel der Weltbevölkerung dahinraffte.
