"The routine of daily life is such that one goes to sleep with the security that tomorrow will arrive, just as it did today. Jonas, a young professional in contemporary Vienna, wakes up one morning to discover that he may be the last living being on earth. The highways are empty. The restaurants are empty. The animals have disappeared. The radio only emits white noise and the internet is down. No one answers his phone calls..."--P. [4] of cover.

Work Description

Jonas ist allein. Zuerst ist es nur eine kleine Irritation, als die Zeitung nicht vor der Tür liegt und Fernseher und Radio nur Rauschen von sich geben. Dann jedoch wird Jonas klar, dass seine Stadt, Wien, menschenleer ist. Ist er der einzige Überlebende einer Katastrophe? Sind die Menschen geflüchtet? Wenn ja, wovor? Jonas beginnt zu suchen. Er durchstreift die Stadt, die Läden, die Wohnungen und bricht schließlich mit einem Truck auf, um nach Spuren der Menschen suchen. Mit wachsender Spannung erzählt Thomas Glavinic davon, was Menschsein heißt, wenn es keine Menschen mehr gibt.
