After all the premise is that a flu wipes out 99% percent of the world population!
It moves back and forth between the times before the flu and 20 years after, ad civilisation starts to rebuild itself
As a character jeevan stock piles food and water at a supermarket (!), he says,
.. "feel there will be a before and an after ...."
Wouldn't you be creeped out! All these echoes
A few chapters in, the world shifts to "20 years after the end of air travel"..
Chill down my spine!
But as it progresses you also get to appreciate all that you have.
The writer uses defamiliariaation to make us appreciate so much we take granted for
Like about the aircon, the fridge, the language we use in emails
