This was exactly what I wanted: beautifully written believable dystopia, that really makes you think about the world we live in. I might even say that Station Eleven is my favorite dystopian book. It felt so real, scary real even.
But it doesn´t just show how people keep living after civilization has collapsed, the story is complex and full of unexpected connections. These connections, how everything leads back to the actor Arthur Leander, is one of the best sides of Station Eleven in my opinion.
Station Eleven shows different view points by following many different people on different times from long before the Georgia Flu to twenty years after it, when a new world is starting to form. This way you get a wide idea of what happened and how the collapse has changed the characters´ lives.
I simply loved this book a lot. I was really getting tired of dystopia as a genre, but maybe I´ve just been reading the wrong books. Or maybe this is more science fiction, I´m not quite sure. Anyway, I´m definitely interested in reading more books similar to Station Eleven.
