It's strange, you rarely hear it mentioned in the same breath as other post-apocalyptic literature like A Boy and His Dog or I Am Legend. I was only made aware of it while reading an article about the making of Fallout.
So, thanks for the indirect recommendation!
- upsidesinclude 4y agoGiven your references I feel bound to offer up: The Road, McCarthy And in a different sort of apocalypse: Nueromancer, Gibson

- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoI Am Legend has been made into a film at least 3 different times. It’s influenced a lot of people even if they never read the book. EDIT: The Last Man on Earth (1964), The Omega Man (1971), and I Am Legend (2007), 28 Days Later (2002)… My favorite is 28 Days Later
- the_af 4y agoI Am Legend is famous for having kickstarted the modern "zombie" trope, as pioneered in cinema by George Romero. He cited I Am Legend as his major influence; he just changed vampires to... ghouls is it? Romero didn't call them zombies.
