Mary Shelley had her The Last Man, which actually sort of set the tone for most stories up to the 50s when the cold war stories emerged. Early ones also seemed to be more about plague than about war but it was probably WWII that introduced the idea we might actually be able to destroy ourselves. When i was a kid, my fascination with PA fiction, as well as a (un)healthy dose of misanthropy, had me fantasizing about being a Last Man. I loved the idea of having all the world to myself and was convinced the local library would teach me all I needed to know to survive. Of course, I was a kid who didn't get the idea that our modern age of medicines and vaccines and prepared food allowed us to stave off getting sick or severely injured all the time.

Neither are something you grow in weeks unless you freebase Rogaine. I had been requested multiple times to grow something like the Lanny and what Will Oldham has.
