"Emily St. John Mandel’s fourth novel, Station Eleven, begins with the ending of one person, and an ending of sorts for a whole society—an imaginary scenario, but not completely outside of the realm of possibility in the real world. The book is a tale of a post-apocalyptic world that manages to weave in Shakespeare into the plot—a major bonus."

NFTs are cryptographic objects on the blockchain with special identification codes and metadata that differentiate them from one another. They cannot be sold or substituted for equivalency, unlike bitcoin. This is in contrast to fungible currencies, such as bitcoins, which may be used as a means of exchange since they are interchangeable.

We never expect how personal and uncomfortable the fallout of the pandemic would become in every aspect of our lives. You feel unsafe just by going out with your friend. Your parents would prefer to connect on video chat rather than have you come over. Or perhaps you and your roommates now need to agree on house rules about grocery shopping and mask wearing.
