I removed the plot summary -- it's completely wrong. While I'm at work right now and don't have the story in front of me, I remember this: it is about a nuclear war, a young boy who survives by getting on the last airplane out of New York to Iceland, and involves the struggle of the last refugees in Iceland during the nuclear winter. It closes with a poignant restatement of the Fermi paradox, and honestly is one of the darkest stories I've ever read. Is there more than one version? Antandrus (talk) 17:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

You are right. I probably used "Passengers" for the template of this article and forgot to change the summary. My mistake. I'll put in the lousy summary i have, but please feel free to replace it with something better. I find this one rather hard to summarize. JW Bjerk (talk) 19:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem, and thanks for changing it ... I may write an expanded one once I find my copy of the story. Thanks for starting all these stubs! Antandrus (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
