The world under Covid-19 is surreal. Empty roads, clear skies, no people at stores and public places. It sounds a bit like a sci-fi. The coronavirus outbreak feels like something out of a science fiction novel or movie. Indeed novelists and filmmakers have been imagining scenarios like this for centuries. It was Mary Shelley, who wrote one of the first plague novels The Last Man (1826) in which she envisioned a post-apocalyptic earth ravaged by plague at the end of 21st century in which everything gets extinct. In the end the "last man" is seen floating away from Britain in a small boat. Ever since then if we see such pandemic based novels have taken a huge part of the thriller genre whether it is novel like Pandemic come and goes in waves, or The Andromeda Strain in 60's by Michael Crichton, The mega successful The Stand in 70's by Stephen King and many others like Outbreak by Robin Cook in 80's and Max Brook's World War Z in 2000's.
