The Covid-19 pandemic is the most important public health emergency. In one book, Italian physicist and writer Paolo Giordano summarizes the spread of the virus in today's hyperconnected world: why it matters, how it affects us, and how we should respond. Giordano links the spread of the virus to fake news, the environmental crisis, nationalism, and xenophobia, when people have no idea about a new kind of global community. Realistic, rigorous, and inspiring, this book is for anyone who wants to understand how we got where we are now, and where we are going. The book includes two articles on the coronavirus by Jewish historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari.
