Immune by Philipp Dettmer
5.0

This is a great book. It takes a very different approach to teaching difficult topics to people like me.
It anthropomorphizes our immune system to make it easier to understand. For me, every chapter was a new discovery. I am amazed at our immune system, it is the the ultimate example that we have here on earth to view emergent behavior.

I read the kindle edition, but on a color-tablet, which is a must for the illustrations.

I found some of the analogies annoying, but I found that these annoying analogies and simplifications (like the hot dog bun one) helped me to remember concepts throughout the book.
