Huge fan of your books and looking forward to your new novel coming up.
Do you think that the world right now is in any way equipped to handle something more deadly and contagious than the coronavirus? It seems like some countries right now are doing better than others, and people have gone into panic mode, not paying attention to the facts. Should something more deadly spread, or if this gets worse, do you think we'll be able to handle it on an international level or will we fail to properly combat the virus?
I'm also curious as to how your writing process differed on devolution compared to world war z. It seems like world war z may have required a lot more research, I imagine, and so how did you find writing a book which is even more fictitious and not really based on a real life threat such as a virus?
