Eben Kirksey’s book, Symbiotic, explores the complex biological relationship between humans and viruses. The work posits that the human body functions as a host for a vast array of viral entities that play active roles in physiological and cognitive processes.
According to the text, these viral interactions are essential to human health and function. Viruses circulating in the bloodstream are described as protective agents against harmful bacteria, while specific viral activity in the brain is linked to the formation of new memories and the physiological response to learning.
