Twenty years after a global nuclear conflict, one man, Ulysses S. Pilgrim, is released from suspended animation to see what remains. It is unclear why nuclear war occurred or who started it but the devastation is immense. The protagonist is joined by three robot companions who accompany him on his journey to discover if he is, in fact, the last American alive.
