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

2.0

I was genuinely interested in the story of the epidemic, but the book was not what I expected. It's as if the writer had author ADD. The topic meanders, and about a quarter of the book is literally the conclusion and it draws far fetched conclusions that have relatively nothing to do with the actual supposed subject of the book. This is more a theoretical study of pandemics than a case history. It was a labor to finish this book.
