About the book:
Station Eleven follows a group of interconnected characters before and after a devastating flu pandemic wipes out most of humanity. The novel moves back and forth in time, tracing how their lives briefly intersect in the “before” world and echo across the fragile societies that emerge twenty years later. At the center of the post-collapse story is the Traveling Symphony, a troupe of actors and musicians who move between settlements performing Shakespeare and music under the belief that “survival is insufficient."
