Wayward by Chuck Wendig
Wayward is the sequel to Wanderer, a book about a fungus that wipes out most of the human population and turns others into zombies.
Wayward picks up in the small town Ouray, Colorado where the survivors deal with the AI named Black Swan that fomented the plague and it's aftermath in an attempt to save civilization.
This is a long book without anything new to add to the story told in Wanderer. Wanderer was interesting with world building and some clever twists about what happened. But in Wayward, the world is already built. We know the big twists. It's just a clean up the mess project and explore different areas of the US and how they are coping with the aftermath. This was written during our pandemic and TFG so there are a lot of allusions to both.
I didn't really enjoy this very long book. It felt like a chore to read and I am glad I am done with it.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
