"Inferno" by Dan Brown follows Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon as he wakes up in a hospital in Florence, Italy, with amnesia and a mysterious biohazard cylinder in his possession. With the help of Dr. Sienna Brooks, Langdon learns that the cylinder projects a modified version of Botticelli's Map of Hell, which sets them on a trail of clues related to Dante's Inferno.

As Langdon and Brooks decode the clues, they uncover a plot by a billionaire geneticist, Bertrand Zobrist, who has developed a virus to solve the world's overpopulation crisis by causing infertility in a third of the global population. Zobrist commits suicide but leaves behind a video message hinting at the virus's location.

The World Health Organization (WHO) becomes involved, believing Langdon might be connected to Zobrist's plans. Langdon and Brooks race against time, pursued by both the WHO and a shadowy organization called The Consortium, to locate and prevent the release of the virus.

Ultimately, Langdon and Brooks discover that the virus has already been released into the world by Zobrist's supporters. Brooks, who had initially sympathized with Zobrist's cause, decides to work with the WHO to contain the virus and mitigate its effects. The novel ends with Langdon reflecting on the ethical dilemmas raised by Zobrist's actions and the potential consequences for humanity.

"Inferno" combines mystery, art history, and bioethical themes, offering a thrilling narrative that challenges readers to consider the moral implications of scientific advancements and the delicate balance between population control and individual freedom.
