Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam
A middle-class family renting a remote vacation home is interrupted when the owners arrive unexpectedly, reporting a citywide blackout and breakdown of communications; as phones and internet fail and strange, unexplained events intensify, the group must confront fear, mistrust, and the fragile comforts of modern life while tensions of race, class, and parental responsibility come to the fore amid an ambiguous, potentially apocalyptic crisis.
