The world of Alvrosdale is a very small world. It is a close-knit agricultural community, presumably somewhere in northern Europe. Alvrosdale was entirely cut off from the rest of the world by a geological cataclysm that raised an impassable mountain barrier. Every year, a number of young people set off in their gliders to cross that barrier. Before they leave, the wise old Hal Hallstrom tells them his story. It is an incredibly story of what he found in the lands beyond the mountain.
The City of the Living Dead, a short story by Laurence Manning and Fletcher Pratt originally published in Science Wonder Stories in 1930, has sometimes been claimed as an influence on The Matrix. In fact the story incorporates a number of concepts that would later be hailed as revolutionary when the cyberpunk writers rediscovered them half a century later.
