- Summary
- In Hong Kong, a doctor with a fever meets a stranger in a hotel lobby. In New York, a journalist walks into a bank branch and finds it full of panicking financiers. In Australia, a backpacker uploads a video that will make her infamous. We live in a world that's more interconnected than ever before. Our lives are shaped by outbreaks -- of disease, of misinformation, even of violence -- that appear, spread and fade away with bewildering speed. To understand them, we need to learn the hidden laws that govern them. From 'superspreaders' who might spark a pandemic or bring down a financial system to the social dynamics that make loneliness catch on, The Rules of Contagion offers insights into human behaviour and explains how we can get better at predicting what happens next
