Pulitzer Prize-winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee traces the history of how scientists discovered that we are made of cells, and how that knowledge is transforming modern medicine. From the 17th-century discovery of “wee beasties” to the cutting edge of CRISPR and immunotherapy, the book explores the cell not just as a structural unit, but as a living, social organism. Mukherjee argues that we are entering a new era of “cellular engineering,” where treating the individual cell—rather than the whole organ—is the key to curing cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.
