Station Eleven follows various people throughout the unraveling and aftermath of a worldwide pandemic. We also get flashbacks to their earlier lives.
Written before the Covid-19 pandemic, some of the things that happen are all too realistic: stocking up on supplies like water, air traffic halting, people not being warned in time but mostly, people knowing about it but thinking it's probably not so bad and continuing their normal lives.
The big difference, though, is that this pandemic's death rate is estimated to be around 99%. Air traffic never starts back up again and eventually, all power networks, electricity and the internet cease to be. A new kind of survival society unfolds.
We follow different storylines in the past and present and learn why they are intertwined along the way.
This novel is a tale of a pandemic gone wrong, a view into a post apocalyptic society, but also a reflection about which things really matter and why.
You will not be disappointed. And I'm not going on a plane anytime soon.
