On Earth, wolves terrorize neighborhoods, machines fuse with flesh, and the state whispers promises of immortality.

In diesem Hörbuch haben Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim und Marie Meimberg all ihr Wissen vereint. Wenn Du dieses Hörbuch hörst, wirst Du verstehen, warum wir schlafen und was das mit einem inneren Tag-Nacht-Wecker, Zettelchaos in unserem Super-Gehirn, Reparaturen an unseren Zellen und einer rieselnden Sanduhr zu tun hat. Mit Pferden, die nicht kotzen können. Mit Fledermäusen, Eulen und Lerchen. Du wirst verstehen: Diese Frage ist damit verknüpft, wie wir wachsen und erinnern. Wie die Natur vor sich hinstümpert.
