Who knew a layman's text on immunity could also be a romp? Super interesting, inventive in its allusions/metaphors/analogies, and super helpful! I can't wait to share it with others and keep its insights in mind. The one thing I wish the author had emphasized was the role of discrimination and environment in the rates of autoimmunity and cancer issues among women, nonbinary folks, and minorities. More research seems to show that such folks are systematically at risk (especially for autoimmune issues), and it seems like he should have included that in his writing. The rest, though: amazing!

This is a greatly great book for the right person! I thought the subject matter was fascinating, at that the author did a great job digging into the subject matter in more easily digestible phrasing. But, even with the humor I wasn’t hooked. Def recommend for science buffs though!
