The Rules Of Contagion: Why Things Spread – And Why They Stop
In this book, Adam Kucharski explores how ideas, behaviors, and diseases spread through populations. Drawing on mathematics, epidemiology, and social science, he explains the underlying principles that govern contagion in both biological and social contexts, showing how similar patterns emerge in viral outbreaks, financial crises, and online trends.

Historical Foundations
When I first began studying contagion, I was fascinated by how far back our attempts to understand epidemics go. The modern mathematical approach to disease spread began in the early 20th century, but its roots stretch to centuries of intuition about how sickness travels. The key intellectual breakt...

Mechanisms of Spread
When we describe something as 'infectious,' we often mean it metaphorically. Yet mathematically, the metaphor holds true across contexts. At the heart of every contagion lies a few critical parameters: how often contacts occur, how likely transmission is during those contacts, and how long someone r...
