Ask HN: Any book recommendations in the time of a pandemic?
After having Laurie Garrett’s The Coming Plague on my bookshelf for over 2 decades, I’ve started reading it in earnest. I also have on my read and reread pile:
The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson
Spillover by David Quammen
The Great Influenza by John Barry
The Rules of Contagion by Adam Kucharski
The Mathematics Behind Biological Invasions by Lewis, Petrovskii, Potts
The Plague by Albert Camus
A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe
