The Rules of Contagion: Why Things Spread - and Why They Stop by Adam Kucharski, Francesca Barrie

3.0

I picked this up during an Audible sale. It was an enjoyable listen- I liked many of the points the author made, and many of the stories he told were very interesting, such as the reason the 1918 pandemic is called the Spanish Flu is due to Spain being the only place willing to publish actual numbers about cases, and how the founder of Buzzfeed got his interest in how things go viral. I thought the idea of talking about things other than disease as being contagious was an interesting spin. It did bog down a bit towards the end for me.
