Has there ever been any sci-fi postulating the idea of a disease or condition that decimates everyone over a certain age? Like, most everyone who's hit puberty?
It's a thought that popped into mind the other day and I've been mulling it over since, trying to envision how that might pan out (and, trying ever so hard not to descend into Lord of The Flies).
How long would it take for kids to work out how everything works again? What if the only surviving adults were idiots or evil?
