The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic—and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World by Steven Johnson

4.0

The first part of the book, about the cholera outbreak, was absolutely worth reading, though I had to take breaks because of the descriptions of the ickiness of life in Victorian London. The concluding chapter felt less focused, and didn't mesh with the first part very well.
