Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley return to the Strelka Institute for a virtual launch of their new book, «Until Proven Safe: The History and Future of Quarantine.» Begun long before COVID, «Until Proven Safe» takes readers into Ebola isolation bubbles, spacecraft-assembly clean rooms, high-level animal disease labs, a nuclear waste disposal facility, and much more—places and technical systems with much to teach us about how humans quarantine. After all, we will all likely experience quarantine again: COVID-19 is merely the first of a new era of global plagues. As we construct a global diagnostic infrastructure of networked sensors, surveillance-based private healthcare, and data-driven smart-home tools, what shape will this coming quarantine take and what will we have learned from COVID-19?
