Tomorrow is the publication date of Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life. I’ll be celebrating by sending out some signed copies (details tomorrow), but in the meantime, here’s an interview that just came out this morning about the book over at Newsvine, on the nature of life, how to navigate without a brain, and nature’s indifference to the “natural.”

Update 1 pm: This is cool. MSNBC (which owns Newsvine) put the interview on their science page.
