The Premonition: A Pandemic Story

As I would expect from Lewis, the book has a quick and engaging narrative flow that makes it very easy to get deep into the book. That the content is still relevant 17 months into a pandemic also helps. It's infuriating to know the tools have been in the toolbox for 15 years, and the speed of government lead to a lot of really unnecessary consequences for hundreds of thousands of people. It's like an insiders view to the start of the pandemic without all the controversy around the measures that would come and go afterwards. The book doesn't pull a lot of punches in its criticisms of bureaucracy and institutional ego that so often, rightly, take the blame when things go horribly wrong. If you think you can read it without getting stressed about the content, I highly recommend checking it out.
