English Summary/英文概要： Following the outbreak of the plague that makes humans allergic to touch, the only way for life to continue is for all the survivors to live in hermetically sealed rooms, only communicating through the internet and never having contact with another person ever again. We experience this new life from the first-person perspective of Angela, a working mother whose monotonous working life feels as though it has barely changed... if it weren’t for the insane loneliness and the creeping dread of the disease outside her door. One day, however, Angela’s routine existence is unsettled when she spots a mysterious stranger walking through town without so much as a dust mask for protection. A stranger who is apparently immune to the disease and, more importantly, doesn’t trigger a reaction in others. A man who, as impossible as it seems, it might be safe to touch.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 随着瘟疫的爆发，使人类对触觉过敏，生命得以延续的唯一方法，就是让所有的幸存者住在密闭的房间里，只通过互联网交流，再也不和其他人接触。我们从Angela的第一个人的角度来体验这种新的生活, 一个感觉自己的生活一成不变的，从事着单调工作的母亲。。。如果不是因为孤独而发疯，以及对面外疾病的恐惧。然而有一天，当Angela目睹一个毫无防护面罩的陌生人在城里走过之时，她的例常生活被打破了。这个陌生人很显然对疾病免疫，更重要的是，他的出现不会引发其他人的过敏反应。作者通过呈现一个既荒谬又令人毛骨悚然的未来远景，它迫使我们怀疑是什么使我们成为人，以及人与人之间的联系是否真的可能不需要身体接触。这部小说节奏优美，故事情节在当下可怕的单调生活和疾病爆发后不断增加的令人生畏的场景之间来回切换。(Sandy)
