Christina Sweeney-Baird Imagines a Pandemic That Kills 90 Percent of Men

                        

  

Christina Sweeney-Baird wrote her new speculative fiction novel The End of Men before Covid-19 struck, but the similarities are striking.

Baird writes about a 2025 pandemic that kills only men and what that means for the women left behind. She tells the story of the Male Plague through first-person accounts of survivors. It's fascinating and terrifying. We talk about how she came up with the idea, the research she did, and how the absence of men would change society.
