Viruses are the tiniest creatures known to science, yet they control our entire planet. Everyone is familiar with cold and flu viruses, but there are also viruses that can cause the most bizarre diseases, such as when tree-like growths develop on a person's skin. Viruses are not just a part of our lives: the human genome contains more of their genetic material than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists continue to find viruses everywhere: in the soil, in the ocean, even in caves thousands of meters deep. This amazing audiobook will introduce you to the secret world we all inhabit. Drawing on the latest research, popular science journalist Carl Zimmer reveals how viruses control our lives and the biosphere, how they gave rise to the first life forms on earth, and how they will shape our destinies in the future.
