Andrew Solomon and Siddhartha Mukherjee discuss Mukherjee’s new book, Song of the Cell, which describes how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Traveling from the 1600s to the forefront of medical technology, Mukherjee shows how the discovery of cells — and the reframing of the human body as a cellular ecosystem — announced the birth of a new kind of medicine.
