Microbes are everywhere, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of our skin. In "I Contain Multitudes," Ed Yong unveils the astonishing ways these tiny creatures influence the natural world and our own bodies.

Far from mere "germs," these microbial partners are integral to life on Earth, shaping our identities and granting us extraordinary abilities. Prepare to see the world in a whole new light.
