That wasn’t all bad, I liked seeing people’s babies and pets, getting little glimpses of their apartments or backyards.īut I write thrillers and when I entered a Zoom meeting one morning to find myself facing a square featuring only an empty desk, I immediately imagined that the person for whom I was waiting was lying somewhere off screen with a knife in his belly.
Zoom meetings began to dominate my life, with their inevitable views into other people’s lives. For many of us, the norms of work and home life were shredded as those two existences merged.
It’s no secret the pandemic turned all our lives inside out in incalculable ways.
