3.0

I like the idea of this book and enjoyed reading it. I found I got bogged down with the telling sections and found times when I didn't understand terminology unique to book. The continued inclusion of the wider Star Trek universe appeals to me, as Miller did with the Picard novel Rogue Elements. 

The theme of this book is born out of our collected experience of the pandemic. I appreciate the perspective Miller provides. Now understanding this point, I find I enjoy a reread more than the first time through.
