Season 2 Episode 3 | 12m 2sVideo has Closed Captions

Explore how fictional pandemics have evolved over time.

Although we are currently living through a pandemic that has disrupted our lives and will shape the course of humanity, pandemics have been around since the dawn of civilization, as have stories about fictional pandemics. So now seems like as good a time as any to explore how fictional pandemics have evolved over time, and what they say about their own time.
