A virus hits the world after an odd cadaver is unearthed on an archaeological dig.
It's a book of short tales, about humanity, love, hope and loss.
Beautiful creativity, prose, ideas. There's two particular sections that had me welling up.
It's a tough read in parts but it portrays life and its myriad complexities better than many other things I have seen or read.
A wonderful, wonderful thing.

One of the smartest lyricists in rock music, let alone punk, so I wanted to see what he had to say. The book’s largely about him feeling like an outsider in a group of outsiders - a professor surrounded by punks who genuinely believes, with every fibre of his being, in the idea of punk as a vehicle for progress. I found it dry (naturally so, given Graffin’s academic status) but fascinating. A totally different take on the ’80s/’90s LA punk scene from all the ones I’ve read before. His anthropologist viewpoint meshes with a genuine love for the music and, well … it makes a lot of sense. This is How you Lose the Time War - Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone I think someone here recommended this, ages ago. Whoever it was, thank you. I fucking loved it. Is it sci-fi? Is it an epic romance? Is it a diary of letters? It’s none of those things and all of them at the same time. It’s a formal experiment, more than anything else. Two agents of hyper-controlled chaos, taking turns to leave each other love notes in the midst of an Orwellian never-ending conflict that spans thousands of years in a brief couple of hours’ read. This book was an adrenalin shot.
