you seem to know the answer to my question. my question is, is there a book about how the world works today and the future. like maybe a book that talks about why the world is the way it is with injustice and such things

Just read The Hot Zone, it's about Ebola and Marburg virus, but the second half is about an outbreak of Ebola in a suburb of Washington DC
