More relevant than ever in times of Covid-19, it is surprising, interesting and even alarming/depressing how many of the issues that Camus imagined (personal, political, medical etc.) that we have also experienced with our own epidemic today, nearly 75 years later. Or, maybe human nature just doesn't change. Can't quite work out if the overall message at the end is optimistic, realistic or nihilistic - probably all three!
