Produktbeschreibung
Written in a unique hybrid style this book explores being human from various perspectives. The non-fiction essays are interspersed with the fictional narrative and both build a compelling picture of what it means to be human. From essays on our earliest history and development to the microbiome in our body to the phenomenon of 'cities' the author celebrates and casts new light on this amazing creature that has taken over (for better or worse) planet earth. Non-academic and non-philosophical style, it's full of fascinating facts, intriguing insights and surprising connections. Did you know that there are 100 trillion friendly microbes living in our body and that they are in conversation with our brain and your immune system? Did you know that life on earth is possible because we are the perfect distance from the sun and also because our solar system is the perfect distance from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. We are very fortunate and this book points out many reasons to be grateful and celebrate. Two things humans can do exceedingly well.
