  Could you or anyone else recommend a book on the topic of viruses? Not a textbook but something informational and somewhat in depth for a lay person?

    I can't think of anything that is not a textbook. That said, I would recommend[0]. You will encounter a lot of vocabulary, just use Wikipedia and look on YouTube for animations/explanations etc. I think this will give you the most bang for your buck.

      Seconded: "A Planet of Viruses" https://carlzimmer.com/books/a-planet-of-viruses/ https://carlzimmer.com/books/a-planet-of-viruses/ I've read it and (excuse me) it's fucking fanstastic! Short and sweet, and mind-blowing on every page.

  Noted. Thanks! It would be nice to delve deeper in that idea.
