Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues, Jonathan Kennedy, c. 2023.
Chapter 7: Industrial Plagues
The first pages sound a lot like the AI revolution in the US starting around 2024.
Nice recap of slavery, weaving, move to urban centers. The explosion -- population, industrializatio -- in the 19th century is amazing.
With the pivot to urbanization without the sanitary conditions needed, we had tuberculosis and then cholera.
