This was excellent — it was on the summer reading list I’m going through by a fave indie bookstore (The Bookshelf of Thomasville, Georgia); it’s not one I would have read on my own and I’m glad I did. I haven’t read The Anthropocene Reviewed but for sure will put it on my TBR after this, in audio form since I thought John Green’s own narration of this was great. It was a challenging read, but JG made it both beautifully accessible and informative in its colloquial feel and personal storytelling. I especially appreciated Green’s attention to connecting the dots between TB and so many other forms of injustice in the world and across history — racism, inequity, and violence of every kind, across countries and civilizations. I would (and will!) recommend this to any reader.

This book gives a great information on the history of how tuberculosis has shaped the  world . TB Continues to kill millions of people around this world due to global health inequity and injustice.

I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by John Green. Easy to digest despite the content being pretty science-y. Heartbreaking (F the pharmaceutical industry) but also hopeful, which is very John Green.
