the whole book centers around a deadly pandemic and the societal collapse that followed. Could hit close to home after Covid 19

I read this because I watched the miniseries. Very interesting to see the changes between the book and the show, from small things like moving it from Toronto to Chicago, to bigger things, like Clark getting a much more sympathetic treatment in the show rather than the book.  The thing I really appreciated was it made Miranda's story and the comic make more sense to me.
