This story revolves around a pandemic that kills 99% of humans and ends civilization, jumping between pre- and post-pandemic times and following various characters who are serendipitously connected. Despite the topic of a pandemic being a bit close to home, I liked the imagination of what a post-civilisation would look like (ways of rebuilding and continuing music and theatre). I also enjoyed the ways the characters' lives were weaved together in mysterious ways, and thought the writing style was really nice
