Wow! CLassic scifi, 1949, one of the earliest examples. American (Of course) Man gets bitten by rattle snake, wakes to find the world dead, meets woman, various survivors, seeks to repopulate the earth. The advantages of technology last approx 5 minutes.

Passive perception checks?!? As my party moved into the room, popups appeared. They had all failed perception checks. One moved to open the sarcophagus, another stumbled and triggered a grease trap. Suddenly, multiple fire traps on two walls were belching fire every half second. Instadeath for all.

Can't believe it's taken sixty one replies to get to the Night's Dawn Trilogy, Peter Hamilton. (Shout out to @gale-kast.bsky.social for providing a mention to some of his other masterworks.)

That said, I never got all the way through the other gates, so maybe I'll just spend some time exploring with different characters.

Please, please, please, in the future, provide correct publication information in your original post! Fellow scholars and students will thank you. Took me an hour to find that this is page 27 in: The Franco Regime 1936-1975. University of Wisconsin Press, 1987. Here: archive.org/details/payn...

You have a *reason*: "The paper's authors studied 160,000 adults between 2011 and 2015 and found that just having 80 or more books in a home results in adults with significantly higher levels of literacy, numeracy, and information communication technology (ICT) skills." Effect tops out at 300-350.

I heard Stefan Vinke sing Seigfried in Melbourne in 2013 and 2016, and yes, not so young. Still fantastic.
