As I say in my Insta review below, I didn’t love this book overall, but I very much liked some aspects of it, including this quote about disease said by author Olive Llewellyn writing, in the year 2203, a novel about a pandemic: “The truth is, even now , all these centuries later, for all our technological advances, all our scientific knowledge of illness, we still don’t always know why one person gets sick and another doesn’t or why one patient survives and another dies. Illness frightens us because it’s chaotic. There’s an awful randomness about it” (83).
True now. True in the future.
