I've long been interested in bacteriophages and their beneficial properties, and this book is such a fascinating look into not only their history but how they can really help us. This is especially true when it comes to antibiotic resistance, which is a growing problem that threatens our world as we know it. There is a lot to learn about the history of bacteriophages and exactly how they came to be, and their discovery of use, and this book does a great job of telling their story while also stressing the importance of them for our future. This scientific discovery, while not well known yet to the general public, is something we really need to focus to help combat the problem of antibiotic resistance. I think those interested in science and history and what the implications are for our future will enjoy this book and it is a must read!

Thank you to NetGalley, Lina Zeldovich, and St. Martin's Press for the eARC of this book.
