Une courte nouvelle prenante qui nous entraine à la suite d'éléments dépassant de loin les personnages.

On y aborde les questions de bien communs contre le bien individuel ainsi qu'un rapport intéressant au complotisme et ses derives.

Un récit riche malgré son format très court.

This short story reframes how I think about the meaning of life, what is survival worth, the human experience, survival versus art/emotions, righteousness & rebellion.
It also inadvertantly illustrates well th fury some people have expressed at the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate the health & well-being of everyone under Covid & how high the scrutiny of scientifical facts get when they require we take action.

That collection of short stories has blown my mind like it hadn't been blown since I was 14 & read 1984. It took me a long time to finish it, because I kept needing to recover, emotionally.

Rating: 4.0
