"The Last of Us is a very sophisticated narrative about love, loss, and our relationships to each other in an apocalyptic setting. While it may seem that The Last of Us is just another zombie-themed story, nothing could be further from the truth. The games and HBO series are more centrally about timeless philosophical topics that focus on understanding the human condition--the series is absolutely loaded with philosophical themes. A season 2 of the HBO show series has been confirmed, and is likely to release in winter 2024, so publication can coincide with that, and ideally benefit from holiday sales. The book would cover the philosophical aspects of the original game and the sequel, with confidence that the show will eventually cover those themes"-- Provided by publisher.
