The Last Book In The Universe by Nathaniel Philbrick
In a bleak, post‑apocalyptic future where most people numb themselves with instant sensory entertainment and written language has nearly vanished, a young, epileptic orphan named Spaz embarks on a dangerous journey after a personal tragedy. Guided by an old itinerant storyteller and joined by a few unlikely allies, he traverses ruined landscapes and confronts violent gangs while seeking safety and a chance to protect those he loves. Along the way he learns the value of memory, human connection and the written word, as a single surviving book becomes a symbol of hope and resistance against a culture that has forsaken its past.
