Infectious diseases-- the Black Death, the Spanish Flu, and AIDS-- account for over one hundred million deaths through history. When a new threat-- Ebola, SARS, Zika-- seems imminent, we send our medical personnel to contain it, protected by a thin mask, making life-and-death decisions on suspect information. Khan has found that rogue microbes will always be a problem, but outbreaks are often caused by people failing to imagine the consequences of our actions. He provides an urgent lesson on how we can keep ourselves safe from the inevitable next pandemic.
