I am shook by how well this 40+ year old sci fi novel predicted how the modern world would react to a pandemic. Struggled a great deal to get into this one, but ever since the parallels to our shared COVID-19 nightmare started hitting I've been unable to put it down. Dismissals of the scientific process? Check. Disregard for other people's health? Check. Racially charged attacks against a community? Check. Wow.
