Green Autumn and Brown Spring J Johnson

How does the world really end? Huge new swamps and inland seas are created when a season of monster storms destroys the barrier islands. The redistributed weight of water and land shifts the Earth's axis causing electric and electronic grids to crash. A University Professor who believes in depopulation and genocide to renew the Earth, recruits agents, some of them his students, to participate in a real life experiment. In multiple locations they seed the swamps with genetically engineered diseases resulting in a pandemic and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. This is a story of what happens next for one group of survivors. On a deeper level this book explores the most base human instincts, survival of the fittest, the need to own, possess or control and the need or lack of need for companionship. It is a world where eating rats and bugs is the norm and killing somebody for stealing your boots is also considered to be justified.
