Every animal on Earth exists within a “sensory bubble,” constrained in its experience of the world by the limits of its own senses. In his new book An Immense World, Ed Yong takes a break from his tireless pandemic reporting for The Atlantic to take readers inside the wondrous and innumerable ways animals perceive the world around them — from bees and songbirds to scallops and crocodiles.

Reset talks to the award-winning writer to learn more about the book and some of his favorite quirky wildlife.

GUEST: Ed Yong, science writer at The Atlantic
