Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake

5.0

You can think of your life like this. The growing tip is the present moment - your lived experience of now - which gnaws into the future as it advances. The history of your life is the rest of the hypha, the blue lines that you've left in a tangled trail behind you. A mycelial network is a map of a fungus's recent history, and is a helpful reminder that all life forms are in fact processes, not things. The 'you of five years ago was made from different stuff than the 'you' of today.

This book made me think that getting infected with a cordyceps in The Last of Us wouldn't be the worst fate ever. 10/10.
