It's clear that the author had the closest relationship with Jason, as his 'case study' dominates the narrative. I wish the women were given equal space.  Additionally, the failure of our HIV/AIDS crisis response (and Fauci's role) was also extremely watered down; I don't know if it is explicitly needed for the narrative, but it's absolutely offensive to not touch on what a monumental human failure that was for so many and only laud the 'achievements' of the science brought about. Also, let's actually name and shame Bayer, yeah?

All that said, this is a very accessible read on a very complex subject that we are still learning about today.  If you have studied Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis, there probably won't be anything new to take away here. Some of the metaphors might also feel like they are distinctly oversimplified. For someone new to Immunology, it’ll give you an excellent foundation and I can definitely recommend it.
