Plot Īlex Morales is a seventeen-year-old Puerto Rican-American boy living in New York City with his parents and younger sisters, Briana and Julie. It's as simple as that," accounting for the change. 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. 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. 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." The Dead and the Gone occurs at the same time as the first novel, Life As We Knew It, but in New York City. 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.
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 and The Shade of the Moon. The Dead and the Gone is a young adult science fiction dystopian novel by Susan Beth Pfeffer.
