Your novel The Cure tells the story of an epidemic affecting the planet. The characters cling to the survival instinct rather than the rules: why is that?

The pandemic in my book is much worse than our coronavirus pandemic. A medical experiment to treat Alzheimer’s Disease goes horribly wrong and a new virus is unleashed that wipes out the memory of infected people leaving them lost and vulnerable. It doesn’t take long for society to fall apart—no functional governments, no electricity, no long-distance communications. In this disaster scenario, conventional rules no longer matter. Survival is in your own hands.
