An audacious, darkly glittering novel about art, fame, and ambition
set in the eerie days of civilization's collapse, from the author
of three highly acclaimed previous novels.
One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies
onstage during a production of "King Lear." Hours later, the world
as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in
time-from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in
the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony
roams the wasteland of what remains-this suspenseful, elegiac,
spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect
five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's
first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the
Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous
self-proclaimed prophet. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender,
"Station Eleven" tells a story about the relationships that sustain
us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we
know it.

When I read books I am looking for truth, and I feel that Emily St John Mandel has touched on a truth that we all feel, this dystopian depiction highlights is on my all time favourite list.
