Perhaps I've read too many dystopian YA books and watched too much Walking Dead...As I read Station Eleven, I kept waiting for something horrible to happen to the decent people who were struggling through the difficult times after a flu epidemic wiped out most of the world's population and caused the collapse of modern society as we know it. There was no electricity, no fossil fuels, and no modern industrial complex. So many other authors have used this sort of setting to create a brutal world i

Because survival is insufficient.
Brilliant book on post-apocalyptic theme. Even though now this genre is a bit overcrowded, Station Eleven can still mesmerized me because it's not just about surviving the post civilization- but how we, as human beings, can preserve what we have lost. Art? Technology? Life. Yes, life.
The story revolves around two periods: before the Georgia Flu and after the Georgia Flu. Before the collapse and after the collapse. A movie star died on stage on the day when the fl ...more

What I really liked about this book was that it made you think. Where do you want to be at the end of the world? Or perhaps a better question is where would you rebuild your world?

When people are struggling surviva ...more

Interesting story and plot of a world overcome by a strain of flu and rebuilding again with and without the memory of what the world was once before.
