The Age of Pandemics explores the many facets of the cholera, plague, and influenza pandemics, which claimed over 70 million lives between 1817 and 1920 with India serving as their epicentre. Topics covered include lockdowns, lockups, viruses, vaccination, human movement, bowel movement, rats, cats, and more. According to the book, the early nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, which are renowned for the industrial revolution's globalisation, imperialism, and globalisation, were also a "era of pandemics." It details the extent of the destruction, the most likely causes and effects, and the fortitude with which people dealt with those pandemics.
