ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Leave the World Behind” by Rumaan Alam explores the unsettling events that unfold when two families, one vacationing in a remote house, the other the house's owners, are forced to confront an unexplained blackout and increasing environmental disturbances. As the outside world falls into chaos, the families struggle with isolation, distrust, and uncertainty. The novel delves into themes of privilege, societal collapse, human fragility, and the psychological toll of fear and uncertainty. Through shifting perspectives and evocative language, Alam examines how people react when the safety and structure of their lives begin to unravel.
