''The Dead and the Gone'' is a young adult science fiction dystopian novel by Susan Beth Pfeffer. Released in hardcover in May 2008, it is the second book in The Last Survivors, following ''Life as We Knew It'' and preceding ''This World We Live In''. ==Background== Pfeffer's novel ''Life As We Knew It'' was created after watching the original film ''Meteor'' (1979), noting that "it got () thinking about how the people who have the most to lose if the world comes to an end are kids," and wanted to see how her characters would cope with a situation that was out of their control. ''The Dead and the Gone'' occurs at the same time as the first novel, but in New York City. She playfully mentioned that "I figure with 300 million people alive in the United States, even if I write about 10 people a book, I can still get another 2,999,998 novels out of that meteor, and that should keep me busy and entertained well past the foreseeable future." 〔http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=5&id=40613〕 ''The Dead and the Gone'' uses a third-person narrative, while the previous book, ''Life As We Knew It'', used a first-person narrative in a journal format. Asked about the change in narrative, Pfeffer replied quite simply that in her planning processes, she "just could not envision a teenage boy keeping a diary. It's as simple as that," accounting for the change.
