The Stand really left an impression on me (because it can happen) about the end of the world and the behavior of humans. The idea of a deadly flu doesn’t play favorites. It’s anyone’s guess who will survive and who will die. Nothing can help you, not money, status, politics, good looks and so on.
After a plague (called Superflu or Captain Trips) is accidentally released upon the world, 99 percent of the world’s population dies. The first section of the novel charts the total breakdown and destruction of society in some very graphic scenes. The few survivors are divided between the forces of good and evil, as the two groups become aware of one another, they see the other as a threat to its survival. The Stand determines who will rebuild the world; the good or the evil.
