Viruses are the tiniest creatures known to science, nevertheless our entire planet is subordinate to them. Every person is well aware of cold and flu viruses, at the same time there are viruses that can cause the most bizarre diseases like this, for example, when tree-like growths develop on human skin. Viruses are not just part of our lives: the human genome contains more of their genetic material than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists continue to detect viruses everywhere: in the soil, in the ocean, even in caves thousands of meters deep. This amazing book introduces the secret world in which we all live. Based on the latest research, popular science journalist Karl Zimmer tells how viruses control our lives and biosphere, how they gave impetus to the development of the first life forms on earth and how they will predetermine our destinies in the future.
