À propos de cet audio

 A deep dive into the immune system that will forever change how you think about your body, from the creator of the popular science YouTube channel Kurzgesagt—In a Nutshell

“Through wonderful analogies and a genius for clarifying complex ideas, Immune is a truly brilliant introduction to the human body’s vast system for fighting infections and other threats.”—John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars

You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You’re mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you head out the door.

So what, exactly, is your immune system?

Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In Immune, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you’ve been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body.

Each chapter delves into an element of the immune system, including defenses like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like bacteria, allergies, and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body’s defenses, how viruses work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.

Enlivened by immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects—immunology—into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape. Immune is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Immune is science communication at its most lucid and exhilarating, a tour de force of demystification. Dettmer maintains an intimate relationship with the reader while revealing the Homeric dramas that routinely unfold within us. It has a vivid clarity that never comes at the expense of the science—or the wonder, as if an entire scientific field had been translated into human.”—Ann Druyan, author of Cosmos: Possible Worlds

“Philipp Dettmer has a unique skill to show us the beauty and complexity of our world as it is revealed through a scientific understanding of it. In Immune he takes us on a tour through our own body and allows us to see and understand how our immune system actually works. A beautiful book about a complex system that our life depends on.”—Max Roser, founder of Our World in Data

“Immune reads like it’s a riveting sci-fi novel, as Philipp Dettmer takes you on a journey into the body for an up-close look at the armies of expert warriors, rogue gladiators, and stealthy detectives that protect you in the daily war against trillions of ruthless microbe enemies. By the end of the book, I understood my entire body far better than I ever had before. Immune is a delightful treat for the curious.”—Tim Urban, creator of Wait But Why

“Bringing both insight and humor to an important and relevant topic, Dettmer’s book is essential reading, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.”—Library Journal

I wish this book existed when I took my immunology course in college. I'm sure my grade would have been much better! Don't get me wrong, this book is not an immunology textbook. Rather it is a collection of analogies, stories, jokes and simplified explanations that help the reader grasp the general principles of how our immune system function. It describes the roles of the major parts of the immune system, what happens when they don't function, and how they work together to keep us healthy.
This book is written in language that the average person can understand and provides and understanding of health and illness that many people do not get to learn in school.
Side note: If you love Kurzgesagt videos, you'll enjoy this audio book. It has the same narrator as their English YouTube videos. And if buy the print version as well, the illustrations are done by the same artist as their YouTube videos.

Immunology for everyone :)

The immune system for everyone, very accessible, with just the right amount of humour throughout to help stretch out your brain muscles with a different exercise.

I learned so much

This is one of the best science book that I have ever listened. As someone who has always been interested in science, I always find science books interesting to read and hard to digest. It often contains too much detail that makes the topic accurate, but boring, which is why I enjoyed immue so much. This books explained so much detail about our immunity system, yet still manage to keep the topic fun and interesting that after I finished the book I actually craved for more. highly recommend for people that wants to learn about our immunity in a hurry.

Must Listen

Such a fun, engaging and simplistic way of leaning about the army that is our body. I would recommend anyone who enjoys learning about the human anatomy or just love learning.

Great read!

so engaging and informative! absolutely love the content and the metaphors! he explains things so eloquently, with enough detail to maintain scientific accuracy yet simple enough to be understood and engaging for all

I'm on my second listen as this is the only thing that can reliably help me sleep - with an added bonus of reinforcing learning

Simply Fantastic

I knew our immune system is complicated before I read the book. But I never imagine how intricately everything works together to keep us generally healthy. And the number of different sub-systems that all comes together is mind boggling. The author did a pretty good job making all of these understandable for a layman. Sure, many details had been glossed over to make it understandable by the layman ... but that's the whole point of the book. So I would say objective achieved.
That said, there are parts of the book where I thought the author could have gone in and provided more details.
Overall, a very informative book. I have learned a lot. Next time I get a cold, I am going to have a lot more appreciation and respect for how the whole system works together to help me get better.

this book must have been a nightmare to put together. As complex as everything in it is, it is well written enough to get some understanding of the immune system. I will read or listen to this book multiple times to gain more understanding. Well Done.
