Doesn't it scare you more to actually be Will Smith in "I am legend"?

He's alone. All those other people were always hanging out together, chasing stuff, hiding from the sun.

He thought he was saving the world but it turned out there was a whole bunch doing just fine in Vermont.

That's the movie. In the book he realizes the mutants are the new humans, he is the outsider. To them, he is the monster, the one who steals their children while they sleep and experiments on them.

The title refers to he himself being a legend, something from a previous age.

I love the movie and love it, especially the DC with the additional endings but in this case the book really is the better medium IMHO

Out of the topic - I love that movie too, but never heard about that book. I'll try to look for it. Thanks!
