Why read it?
1 author picked The Family That Couldn't Sleep as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book terrified me. I had no idea that insomnia can be fatal, and in some rare cases, it is a brutal disease that afflicts entire families.
Like all good science books, this one kept me flipping pages while also teaching me about the science of prions, a rogue protein behind the rare condition at the heart of the book that is also linked to Mad Cow Disease. I really enjoy Maxās writing here and in his work for the New Yorker magazine.
From Jason's list on mysterious disease outbreaks.
