The Scarlet Plague

A world undone. A warning from the past.

The Scarlet Plague is Jack London's harrowing vision of the future—a chilling novella written in 1912 that eerily predicted global pandemics and societal collapse. Set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a deadly disease, the story follows an old man recounting civilization's fall to his disbelieving grandchildren.

In an age where once-great cities lie in ruin and memory of science and culture has faded, London explores how fragile progress truly is. Written over a century ago, this prophetic tale resonates today more than ever—an urgent reminder of both the resilience and recklessness of humanity.
