Wow this was a very good novella! I listened to it on audio and it was a great experience.

The fact this was written in 2018 before the pandemic makes this a very poignant read and could be triggering for some.

The end left me shook!

As a (quasi) medical professional, and as a student who is interested in infectious diseases, this book was fascinating, on top of resonating with the current Sars-Cov-2 pandemic.
