Plagueworld Chronicles

by Adam Robbins

A record of the covid crisis across 2020, with real-time news condensed to its essentials by an American editor in Shenzhen. Adding personal reflections and some family tragedy, Plagueworld Chronicles shares the tale of what we knew, when we knew it, and how it felt to be alive through China’s year of the rat.
