The Plague

In 2029, just as we have learned to live with seasonal variants of Covid, a new variant of the plague bacillus is discovered in this southern city. With no treatment available, the central government decides to seal off the city and implement a mysterious "Plan D" with monstrous consequences in order to spare the rest of the country.
It takes Albert Camus' novel to the year 2030, making reference to the Covid pandemic, proposing an update that maintains the validity of the danger of totalitarianism in the midst of great tragedies. It is an interesting proposal that is not well developed and sometimes feels too superficial, but at least it allows us to see that the warnings of the post-war period are perfectly transferable to our present. It is a dystopia that seems all too recognizable.
