Summary "The Awakening" by Jack Sharkey is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1960s. The narrative explores themes of survival and societal rebirth in a post-apocalyptic setting, wherein a group of individuals awakens from a long cryogenic sleep to find the world has drastically changed. They must grapple with the consequences of their past decisions and adapt to a new environment that is both unfamiliar and threatening. The story centers around Rik, who, along with others, awakens to a malfunctioning life-support system in their subterranean vault. As he attempts to revive his companions, he discovers that they have overslept for far longer than anticipated due to a catastrophic failure of their equipment. The elders, who were supposed to guide them, have perished, leaving Rik and a few others to navigate the consequences of the "War" that pushed them into hiding. Emerging into a world that is strikingly different, they find remnants of both destruction and new life. While facing challenges in their adaptation and survival, they also feel a sense of thrill and potential within this resurrected world, setting the stage for an exploration of human resilience and the instinct to thrive despite adversity.
