Smith is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The narrative centers around a character named Johnson who has chosen to remain on Earth after humanity has largely migrated to other planets. The work examines themes of solitude, nostalgia, and the human condition in a world devoid of people, ultimately exploring what it means to be the last man on a slowly decaying planet. In the story, Johnson bids farewell to the last departing ship and reflects on his decision to stay behind on a desolate Earth that has become overgrown and void of human life. Through his introspection, it becomes clear that he finds a sense of peace and contentment in solitude, imagining a future where nature reclaims the world. As Johnson navigates the remnants of civilization, he grapples with his feelings about the past, his memories of loved ones, and the potential for new life to emerge in the absence of humans. Ultimately, the novella presents a poignant look at the intersection of humanity, nostalgia, and the inevitable cycle of life and decay.
