The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson Book Summary

A National Bestseller, a New York Times Notable Book, and an Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Year from the author of Extra Life
 
“By turns a medical thriller, detective story, and paean to city life, Johnson's account of the outbreak and its modern implications is a true page-turner.” —The Washington Post

“Thought-provoking.” —Entertainment Weekly

It's the summer of 1854, and London is just emerging as one of the first modern cities in the world. But lacking the infrastructure-garbage removal, clean water, sewers-necessary to support its rapidly expanding population, the city has become the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease no one knows how to cure. As the cholera outbreak takes hold, a physician and a local curate are spurred to action-and ultimately solve the most pressing medical riddle of their time.

In a triumph of multidisciplinary thinking, Johnson illuminates the intertwined histories of the spread of disease, the rise of cities, and the nature of scientific inquiry, offering both a riveting history and a powerful explanation of how it has shaped the world we live in.

Didn't mean to buy. Okay. I was actually trying to buy the audiobook, as I already have a hard copy. Any way I can get a refund?

Great writing skills. Wow, to have a non-science brain as mine to be eager to turn the next page. WOW. Got sucked in this , who done it, then realize it’s about science. Too late. Had me until the end.

Intelligent story telling and narrative, but repetitive.. Very intelligent story telling and narrative, but repetitive in theme and content across the length of the book. Enjoyed the detailed account of 19th century England and insightful analysis of events by the author which runs parallel to the story narrative. The length of book could be 30% shorter without losing any depth, detail or impact.

Interesting, but many tangents. The detail is very interesting but the author goes into many tangents and can be hard to follow at times.
