YA
Jesse is sitting in history class when most of the human race is annihilated by invading aliens. A small minority of "product" is kept alive to serve as slaves, Jesse among them. The story is action-packed, provocative, profound, and wickedly funny. Yansky takes on questions philosophical, ecological, religious, moral, and social, and the satire is right on target.
