Call Me Adam.

Call Me Adam is a speculative thriller set in a post-Covid pandemic world. The story follows Louie, a man who cannot die but desperately wants to, and Katherine, who is trying to survive in a world facing a devastating new flu. As civilization crumbles, Louie and Katherine have vivid dreams of each other and eventually connect through a phone call. The novel explores themes of survival, redemption, healing, and love, and offers a chillingly familiar possible future. Readers who enjoy Ling Ma's "Severance" and Karen Thompson Walker's "The Dreamers" will appreciate this humane and contemporary apocalyptic tale. [Extracted from the article]
