I never thought I would be so riveted by a book about plagues...

I'm gonna say something nasty and say that all those bemoaning, "I thought I was going to read about plagues, not history," either lack reading comprehension or just refuse to Get It. This was such an in-depth look at how it's not JUST plagues — it's our world and our systems and how it was built and how it is transitioning in the future. 

Really a fascinating look at history through the lense of the diseases that shaped us.
