This Dan Carlin book on times when it felt like the world was coming to an end is *extremely* good.
Was written last year but has a great chapter on pandemics. – source2022-06-21T10:30:26.000Z
Recorded this amazingly prescient conversation w the one and only Dan Carlin of @HardcoreHistory in late 2019, just months before #COVID swept the planet. His book The End Is Always Near is phenomenal, as are his thoughts on legacy media and what has been coming next for decades – source
