Scarlet Plague

What’s This Podcast
About?

In this gripping science fiction tale by Jack London, we are transported to a desolate future in the year 2072, six decades after a devastating scarlet plague ravaged the globe. James Howard Smith, one of the last few survivors from the pre-plague era in the San Francisco region, reflects on his life and the fleeting nature of existence as he seeks to pass on invaluable lessons to his grandsons. Through his poignant narrative, we uncover the harrowing spread of the plague and the fierce struggles faced by the remnants of humanity. Originally published in London Magazine in 1912, The Scarlet Plague remains a haunting exploration of survival and the importance of knowledge. (Summary by Wikipedia and James Christopher)
