keencreation's review against another edition
Might give it another try later but I found the introduction terribly offputting. All this talk about how we have to be aware of the world around us, while referring to the pandemic in the past tense.

Naomi is so clever - weaving observations about current politics, historical issues with a personal touch. I really enjoyed this and learnt a lot.

Really well thought out and full with a bounty of great citations to cross read. A little depressing if the thesis is new to you, but if not, a very lucid summary of where we are and how we got here that shows the pandemic as part of history rather than exceptional.

A lot to unpack here.
Fascinating as ever.
Essential reading for now and for what's happening
Great writing.
You'll discover things about yourself and the mirrored life. And there's kind of a plot twist despite this being nonfiction. That made me want to read again, there's just so much she covers. I think I highlighted half the book! I loved the literary references as she takes us on a tour of the doubles theme through history. It can mean more than one thing and the author is a great guide and doesn't give away everything at once.
