Socially Distant: The Quarantales
In 2020, the COVID-19 novel Coronavirus came and our lives changed.
We all quarantined. We shut down our economy. And we made sure to keep a distance of at least six feet in an effort to keep the virus from killing as many people as we could save. In the midst of this, the speculative fiction authors within this volume began to think about what life looks like if the quarantine doesn't leave. What happens if the illness keeps us all on restriction. Who will end up breaking that restriction? What will be their consequence? How will we exist, as a society, if we must keep our social distance?
These pages explore that concept. The humor, the pain, the triumph, and the everyday humanity of a life in quarantine. A collection of twenty-one stories from across the globe, from India to Britain to Canada to the United States, and all of them about what life looks like in the near future if we remain...socially distant.
