[Alas Babylon!]

I was a big fan of the book Alas, Babylon, by Pat Frank. Dystopian stories are some of my favorites, and this book is one of the best, and the details of how to put a society back together, etc., are amazing.

But more than that, as a Christian, having read the Bible numerous times, I can't help but reflect on America as the Great Babylon of the End Times as written about in Revelation, and the line that is the title of Pat Frank's book.

Read it yourself and tell me this isn't about the USA:

Babylon the Great has fallen!

Thanks for the book recommendation. After I retire, I plan on going back to my old bookworm ways. That’s one I’ll surely get to.

It’s on my “to read” bookshelf behind me as I type. This might be a sign that I should choose it next.
