BLOOM x IDA: Symbiosens tidsalder

Vi lever i symbiosens tidsalder.

En videnskabelig revolution er i gang i biologien, og det er bakterierne i vores maver og et virvar af forbindelser i naturens verden, der har sat den i gang. Forskningen er ved at gøre op med forestillingen om, at vi alene er biologiske individer, for hverken i naturen eller i vores egne kroppe er vi så selvtilstrækkelige og uafhængige, som vi går og tror. Vi er værter, der lever i symbiose med et væld af andre livsformer.
