What we know of the organism is that it is anaerobic (does not require oxygen to survive), it deprives its environment of the necessary atmosphere to survive, it's airborne from a living carrier but is not transmittable from a dead body, and it actively grows when given "food" like oxygen or literally whatever is near it. Read this book to think, not to space out. It can get a bit dry but it's interesting nonetheless. There's a lot of information pushed into this book and a lot you can miss.

However, the second section will be based off of the science in the book. I will be separating this blog into separate sections: one section will be a book review. If you'd like to join us to write these blogs, direct message me and we'll get that settled. To join in, check for the book of the month on the chatroom, read, and join us for discussion. We'll be discussing Andromeda Strain at 5pm PST on 09/25 in the Book Club Chatroom.įor you newbies, we discuss the book of the month every last Thursday of the month, but we're a day late this time around.
