I’ve loved everything Yong writes, and this is no exception. I read nonfiction out loud to my partner, and he writes in a way that flows very smoothly off the tongue
A really stunning exploration of sensing. And a really nice incorporation of von Uexküll's "umwelt." Particularly compelling is the emphasis upon the entanglement of communication and sensory capacity.
