Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease.
Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.
In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.
In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

John Green is the award-winning, #1 bestselling author of books including Looking for Alaska, The Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down, and The Anthropocene Reviewed. His books have received many accolades, including a Printz Medal, a Printz Honor, and an Edgar Award. John has twice been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and was selected by TIME magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. With his brother, Hank, John has co-created many online video projects, including Vlogbrothers, the educational channel Crash Course, and an annual livestreamed fundraiser called the Project for Awesome (P4A). The P4A is a project of the Foundation to Decrease World Suck (FTDWS), of which John is a director. FTDWS has made over $10 million in grants for charities recommended by P4A viewers since 2012 (https://fightworldsuck.org/#Grants).

John serves on the Board of Trustees for global health nonprofit Partners in Health and, in partnership with Partners in Health and the Nerdfighter community around Vlogbrothers video, has raised over $30 million to tackle maternal mortality in Sierra Leone. In 2023, John spoke at the UN High-Level Meeting on the Fight Against Tuberculosis, calling for the eradication of tuberculosis cases in the next decade. John has joined organizing by groups such as StopTB, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and We Are TB to increase access to tuberculosis treatment programs, lower tuberculosis test prices, and campaign for the end of secondary drug patenting. He lives with his family in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can visit John online at johngreenbooks.com and find out more about the fight against tuberculosis at tbfighters.org.
