In Emily St. John Mandel’s novel “Station Eleven,” technology has a key part in defining the personalities and relationships of the individuals. The protagonists have to traverse a world where technology is no longer easily accessible, forcing them to adapt and rely on alternative talents and values to survive as the globe descends into chaos following a horrific flu outbreak. As characters struggle with the loss of contemporary conveniences and yearn for the relationships and diversions they offered, the book examines how technology has both united and alienated people. Characters are forced to reevaluate their identities and face their own vulnerabilities in the lack of technology since they have to rely solely on their own abilities and resourcefulness to get by in a cruel and merciless environment.Technology also plays a role in shaping the relationships between characters. In a world where physical distance and communication barriers are heightened, characters must rely on more traditional forms of connection, such as face-to-face interactions and tangible acts of kindness. This shift in communication allows characters to form deeper, more meaningful relationships based on genuine human connection rather than fleeting digital interactions.
