Earth Abides - Legacy and Homages

Legacy and Homages

• An homage to the book is found in the episode "Emancipation" of the dystopian sci-fi series Earth: Final Conflict, where "Earth Abides" became the name of a political group.
• Stephen King has also stated that Earth Abides was an inspiration for his post-apocalyptic novel, The Stand.
• Earth Abides has remarkable parallels to Jack London's The Scarlet Plague. In the post apocalyptic world London's "grandser" occupies the position of shaman in the new tribe as does Stewart's "Ish."
• Singer/songwriter Art Elliot released an EP titled Earth Abides in June 2011. The title track is loosely based on the novel.
