A series of short stories that explores the impact of a deadly decades long pandemic, and how the world and people deal with it.

Beginning in the near future it tells very different stories full of fresh ideas about how society and humans change in a world where death and climate change is all around.

The stories often build upon another and have breadcrumb like connections from the very start of the outbreak, to thousand years in the future where humanity travels among the stars.

Some stories are more forgettable than other but concepts like the City of Laughter and other visions of the future will likely stay with me for a long time. I got a lot of „Black Mirror“ vibes while reading, which I consider a good thing.
