ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Severance" by Ling Ma tells the story of Candace Chen, a first-generation American and office drone, navigating a world ravaged by Shen Fever, a pandemic that turns people into automatons. Immune to the virus, Candace continues her routine in an emptying New York City, photographing the deserted city for her blog, .N.Y. Ghost. The novel explores themes of memory, routine, and the search for meaning in a society consumed by consumerism. As civilization collapses, Candace joins a group of survivors led by the enigmatic Bob, seeking refuge in a place known as the Facility. Her journey becomes a reflection on connection, loss, and the human desire for order amidst chaos.
