Solid advice even for non-apocalyptic scenarios: "keep your head, retain your fundamental scruples, throw in with likeminded people, and avoid the savages, petty tyrants, and poisonous plants." Fortunately no poisonous plants around here, but have been following the other suggestions so far :)

This is the second time I have come across this book title this week, and will place it on my reading radar. Thanks for the recommendation!

I remember seeing the movie probably in the late 1950's. I must have been in 3rd or 4th grade. It freaked me out. I don't recall it being as much a sociological metaphor as much as a sci-fi doomsday flick, but then what did I know in third grade.... I might have to look it up, see if it's on Youtube and watch it again and read the book...
