There might be a deeper meaning, but this is essentially about death. It’s about mass death, for sure, as the story revolves around a pandemic — which is why it’s compared to Station Eleven — but the focus in the story, is mostly on individual people saying goodbye to their loved ones. Almost all perspectives were from those who lived as opposed to those who were dying. However, there was at least one perspective from someone who was dying, which gave an interesting perspective on the pandemic. The book a bunch of interconnected short stories threaded together by the pandemic, giving you a 360 view on everything that happened from a collection of minor perspectives. My favorite two stories were the one revolving around the spaceship and the last story of the book. My least favorite was the second chapter, which revolved around a “death carnival”, which I had to skip in order to not DNF the book.viireads's review against another edition
