Basecamp book club: I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong

I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong reveals the hidden world of microbes living in and around us—and how these tiny partners shape everything from our health and behavior to the ecosystems of the planet. With vivid storytelling and surprising science, Yong shows that no living thing truly lives alone: animals, plants, and humans are all complex communities of microbes. It’s a fascinating, mind-expanding read that will change how you think about your body and the invisible life that surrounds you.
