Reading this book is like doing shrooms sober.

Sure, we all know that some animals and plants have senses either far stronger or weaker than ours—or even senses humans don’t possess—but there’s a whole other level to this that none of us, and I mean none of us, had fully considered.

This book is packed with fascinating insights, but one that really overclocked our brains was how perception works. The circular relationship between our sensory perception of the world and the way that perception creates the world we inhabit, forming an endless feedback loop of optimized stimuli and response, is enough to make your head spin and practically shatter your limbic system. Add dozens of new insights into how animals function, and you’ve got a supercharged text. Ed does an impressive job conveying this nuanced knowledge in a book that, despite its depth and breadth, still feels like it only scratches the surface as it stretches the limits of language to translate completely alien sensory experiences for human readers.

Whether you miss those late night conversations in your dorm room thinking about the nature of reality or are longing for the feeling of wonder that was so readily available before we all started counting our ages in double digits, this book is bound to open a door to those same feelings and rekindle that fire of curiosity and awe. It's like loosing your Discovery-Channel-Virginity all over again. BTW colors aren’t real.
