The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human by Siddhartha Mukherjee

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

This guy’s books rule. He does an amazing job of being comprehensive without assuming the reader knows anything. I never feel like anything is dragging on too long and he deals with the human and philosophical implications of the science alongside the pure mechanics of the systems we’ve learned about. Truly next-level explanatory work that also does a great job explaining what the unanswered questions are in the field.

Half-star off because it can naturally be a little hard to follow some of the jargon in an audiobook and that dulls effectiveness of some chapters. If I had read this in print it probably would’ve been a 5 star review.
