Check out my full review of the book -
   • The Road by Cormac McCarthy  

"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy is a haunting and post-apocalyptic novel that follows a father and son as they journey across a desolate and devastated landscape. Set in a world ravaged by an unspecified cataclysm, the novel explores themes of survival, despair, and the enduring bond between parent and child. As they struggle to find safety and meaning in a world devoid of hope, the duo encounters various dangers and encounters that test their resilience and humanity.

The impact of "The Road" on modern culture is profound. McCarthy's stark prose and bleak portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world have left an indelible mark on literature and popular culture. The novel has garnered critical acclaim, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and has been adapted into a successful film. Its exploration of existential themes and the human condition has influenced subsequent works in the dystopian genre, shaping contemporary discussions about morality, resilience, and the fragility of civilization in the face of catastrophe.
