THE PREMONITION - MICHAEL LEWIS GEBUNDEN

From the global bestselling author of The Big Short  the gripping story of the maverick
scientists who hunted down Covid-19 'It's a foreboding ' she said. 'A knowing that something is
looming around the corner. Like how when the seasons change you can smell Fall in the air right
before the leaves change and the wind turns cold.' In January 2020  as people started dying
from a new virus in Wuhan  China  few really understood the magnitude of what was happening.
Except  that is  a small group of scientific misfits who in their different ways had been
obsessed all their lives with how viruses spread and replicated - and with why the governments
and the institutions that were supposed to look after us  kept making the same mistakes time
and again. This group saw what nobody else did. A pandemic was coming. We weren't prepared. The
Premonition is the extraordinary story of a group who anticipated  traced and hunted the
coronavirus  who understood the need to think differently  to learn from history  to question
everything  and to do all of this fast  in order to act  to save lives  communities  society
itself. It's a story about the workings of the human mind  about the failures and triumphs of
human judgement and imagination. It's the story of how we got to now.
