Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection (Goodreads Choice Favorite Nonfiction of 2025)

John Green 從一名少年病患的日常出發，層層展開肺結核如何隨著歷史、殖民、經濟與制度流動，成為今日最致命、卻仍被忽略的傳染病。書中既有醫學知識的清晰說明，也保留人與人之間的溫度，讓數據背後的生命重新被看見。

作者多年投入公共倡議的經驗，使本書不流於同情式敘事，而是冷靜指出：疾病的走向，往往取決於社會如何分配資源與關注。本書適合關心公共衛生、全球議題，或單純想理解世界運作方式的讀者閱讀，是一部將個人故事轉化為公共思考的非虛構作品。

John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world's deadliest disease.

Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.

In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.

In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world--and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
