No matter how strong our moral values are, if the overpopulation continues, the mankind will forego its peace and compassion and nations will break into wars over limiting resources such as food and water. Like other Dan Brown’s book, the science, historical references, art and literature included in this book are true. When I was reading the book, and was presented with the following graph, I had to agree that something needed to be done or we are all finished. Our villain even plans a scheme to dramatically reduce the world’s population to a more manageable size. The villain is extremely concerned about the population growth of mankind, and was frustrated at the ineffective response by the WHO. “What the World Health Organization fails to recognize is that there is only one global health issue.”Ībove was part of the confrontation between our “villain” and the head of the WHO. Sienna cites this as an institution who ignored Zobrist’s pleas to address population control.As one of our chosen books, Dan Brown again writes another amazing story infused with puzzles regarding art, history, and literature.

Worldwatch Institute– Based in Washington D.C., this research organization focuses on global environmental issues and sustainable development. This is used as an example to show that even the smallest genetic mutation can have “catastrophic effects on the body”. Sienna claims the virus Zobrist created was an airborne vector virus, making it far more easily spreadable and dangerous than a typical virus.Ĭystic fibrosis– This is a hereditary and life-threatening lung disorder that causes thick mucous to build up in the lungs, pancreas, and other places in the body.

Making this virus airborne means it can be spread through the air, through coughing, sneezing, stirring up particles, etc. Levent is a business district on the European side of Istanbul.Īirborne vector virus– An vector virus is a virus that transports a genome into the cell it infects. One Levent Plaza- Brown describes this as the location address of the Swiss Consulate.
