Apollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live by Nicholas A. Christakis
4.0
The ideas in this book are articulated in an exemplary manner, and each point is prodigiously grounded in well-researched science. I feel as though I don't have to second guess whatever fact it is that I'm learning.
The writing structure is perfect in that it allows for chunks of reading that last me about 5 minutes - fantastic for some quick reading if I crave that on a particular day.
I general, I feel much more educated about the matter of covid-19 - the risks and benefits of certain restrictions, when to employ said restrictions, what makes a virus particularly difficult to deal with, etc -after having read this.
This certainly contributed to my growing interest in virology and epidemiology!
