I have not even heard of any of these authors, not even the Finn.

I haven't /read/ any of them, but I /saw/ the movie of /The Girl with
All the Gifts/, which I really didn't find all that great. I no longer
remember why, exactly.

The most excellent "The Girl With All the Gifts". The very good
"Station Eleven". And the not so great "The First Fifteen Lives of
Harry August".

BTW, "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August" was a ripoff of "Replay".
Read that instead.

None.

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

I tried to watch the TV show adaptation, but gave up because...
actually I don't even remember.

Problem I had with it was, it was *badly* mistimed. Watched it anyway.
It's aggressively okay.
