3. I probably read it the first time when I was 12 or so, meaning about 60 years ago.

I've reread it periodically since. My s-f book club did it some years ago.

What I found most interesting in that last reread was how dated it was in certain ways. How much simpler the technology was back then, which actually made survival somewhat easier in many ways. Although there is a magic grocery store that never runs out of groceries/canned goods.

But the way the generations change profoundly because of the complete collapse of everything seems well thought out.
