A deadly virus suddenly explodes. A political movement gathers pace, vanishes. An idea takes off like wildfire, changing our world forever. We live in a world more inter-connected than ever before. Our lives are shaped by outbreaks of disease, mis-information that appears, spreads, fades with bewildering speed.
To understand we need to learn hidden laws that govern these. ‘Super-spreaders‘ spark a pandemic, bring down financial systems, social dynamics. The Rules of Contagion offers compelling insights into human behaviour, explains how we can get better at predicting what happens next?
Hard to imagine a more timely book on why diseases spread, why they stop?
Intriguing, insightful read…
