needs more description, which has to wait until I've read more of the book... and I'm finding it a bit of a slog

The novel was adapted into a ten-episode miniseries in 2021.

Station Eleven was one of the books featured in the 2023 edition of Canada Reads. It lasted through the entire week, [placing second|winning the competition].

Tropes used in Robkelk/sandbox/Works pages/Station Eleven include:
  • Apocalypse How: The story begins in Year Zero with a pandemic that kills off over 99 per cent of humanity. Civilization takes a major hit because there aren't enough people to maintain an industrialized society, but luxuries like museums and touring acting troupes still exist.
  • Fictional Document: The titular "Station Eleven", written before Year Zero, provides a distraction at a key moment.
