"Alas, Babylon" is a book by Pat Frank. It is about the survivors of a nuclear holocaust in South Florida. They are aware something has happened, but at the moment they are dealing with the lack of electricity and gas, no more food being delivered to the grocery store, no more gas for their vehicles, and the dangers of radioactivity. Most high schoolers in the United States are required to read the book at one point or another. It is not political...it is more about what would it take to survive in a world cut off from what used to be.The title comes from a verse in the Bible. Psalm 137:5 (NIV): "By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion."
It refers to the sorrow felt by the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
