Funny, inflammatory, and weirdly prophetic Hertell Daggett is the damaged caretaker of a failing pet cemetery on the outskirts of Bakersfield, and he's just discovered a lost civilization. Well not lost so much as just, misinformed -- they've been living beneath the pet cemetery due to some bad information they got back in 1963 about the end of the world, and were completely unaware that the world had wobbled on without them. Hertell leads the duck-and-cover civilization into our glorious, mystifying, and often dismaying world, and in the process, finds a love he never quite lost and a future he never quite imagined.<ul>

And that's the funny thing about the end of the world, they never tell you how long it's going to take. Too bad they couldn't be more specific.\n1ST PLACE - FICTION/HUMOR - PENCRAFT BOOK AWARDS

BRONZE MEDAL - LITERARY FICTION - READERS' FAVORITE 
FINALIST - LITERARY FICTION - INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS\nThe earth's magnetic poles have reversed and civilization has just had its clock reset to the great cosmic flashing 12:00am from almost a million years ago, and humanity, and everybody in it, is pretty much forgetting everything it learned since the last time.\nEverybody except Hertell Daggett, who remembers pretty much everything because he'd once been shot in the head — the doctors got the bullet out, but missed a few tiny specks of copper that remained, floating inside his brain, connecting him to the things everybody else on earth is slowly forgetting.\nHertell sees an opportunity to start civilization all over again, and maybe even get it right this time. What could possibly go wrong?
