+Another suggestion from Amazon's list of best books, [*Station Eleven*][book-amaz] is a story about
+humanity and civilization. The setting is before, during, and after a pandemic that wipes out the
+majority of the population and therefore brings our modern world to a halt. The narrative jumps back
+and forth across time and between narrator in a style that worked for me. Overall a good book that I
+would certainly recommend, but which I found lacking due to the span of time and potential to
+explore this future world.
+
+I find it hard to fault a book for not spreading itself thin to cover all of the different
+interesting facets of this post-apocolyptic world it created it. Nonetheless, there are so many
+questions left unanswered. In itself that is the point. When the world crumbles, we are left as
+individuals to hold on to what we were or make something new of ourselves. Those living through this
+collapse are also suffering from unanswered questions, hope and deinal which eventually lead to
+acceptance. The focus on one set of characters woven from decades before to decades after the event
+leads to a sense of being one of them. You only know as much as they do and therefore that sense of
+not knowing is felt alongside them.
+
+Parts of this story were particularly interesting to me after reading [*The Great
+Leveler*](/book/2018/02/26/the-great-leveler.html). I had all of these thoughts about how this flu
+was affecting wealth distributions and income inequality. This book took the flu lethality to the
+extreme, worse than anything in history, so that the destruction was almost complete. The largest
+grouping of people that we hear of is a few hundred by twenty years after. That sort of decimation
+would obviously lead to a leveling of inequality. I had feelings like this was almost too extreme of
+a scenario for the real interesting parts to play out. I was hoping for more tribal issues or
+rebuilding efforts. While there were hints of these themes, they were mostly missing.
