From John Green, the bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars, comes a passionate, illuminating work of narrative non-fiction about humanity's deadliest infection — and what our response to it reveals about justice, inequality and care.
Tuberculosis has shadowed humanity for millennia. Once romanticised as the malady of poets, today it is a disease of poverty that follows the trails of injustice we have blazed for it — and it still kills well over a million people every year, despite being curable and preventable.
In 2019, Green met Henry Reider, a young TB patient at a hospital in Sierra Leone, and the two became fast friends. Through Henry's story, Green weaves the scientific and social history of tuberculosis — how it has shaped our world, and how our choices will shape its future — into a moving call for greater awareness and wider access to treatment.
Earnest, witty and deeply human, perfect for readers of popular science and narrative non-fiction.
