I partially think this was so compelling because all the quarantine/PPE talk was so familiar, which is a bit masochistic of me. It's stunning how little bits of the epidemic life came true, this being written in 1992: there was a pandemic, in this world, in 2014; people immediately came up with conspiracy theories about how it started; some people started calling it "*insert assumed nationality of first person who got it* virus"; people not wearing masks.

Well, that was intense. I'm pretty sure this has prepped me for a great game of Pandemic. Willis' writing is, as always, remarkably well researched and imagined. I'm left with a few thoughts at the end of the book, but primarily, "Why haven't I read this book sooner," since I studied the Plague in college.
