Just imagine You receive a call on your cell phone, and the caller starts telling you stuff that nobody but you knows. What you really did that night with your in-law; that time when your friend's father got a little too personal; the time you went for a drunken joyride in your dad's Mercedes. You know, stuff that you never told a soul. "Who else," it asks, "knows all these stories about you? Only a real insider like me." Hundreds of trillions of microbes, most of them in your gut, make up your microbiome. They and their ancestors have been evolving right along with you and your ancestors. Interdependent commensals, you are, joined at the hip. And the liver, brain, skin and ears. These six stories explore what happens after your biome becomes sentient and... ... you receive that call.
