Super-interesting... He just keeps imparting one surprising,
fascinating insight after the next. I Contain Multitudes is science
journalism at its best
*Bill Gates*
[A] marvellous, thrilling and richly annotated book… I call it
marvellous: everything about the microbial world is to be marvelled
at. And it is a page-turner in a very old-fashioned sense. All life
is here, and death too, and sex and violence, including deviations
of which you had never dreamed ... We have an inner life, in every
sense, and are the richer for it: richer still for this witty and
compelling book.
*Guardian*
Beyond fascinating. An amazing book. It'll change the way you think
about the world. It'll change who you think you are.
*Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk*
Momentous ... an essential read
*Sunday Times*
I Contain Multitudes makes the importance of popularising
science…sparklingly clear... From his vibrant introduction to his
witty endnotes, Yong’s expertise and narration hold no less wonder
than a sacred text.
*Spectator*
