    Hidden in the microverse all around you, there is a merciless war being fought by the true rulers of this planet, microorganisms. Amoebae, protists, bacteria, archaea and fungi compete for resources and space. And then there are the strange horrors that are viruses, hunting everyone else. Not even being alive, they are the tiniest, most abundant and deadliest beings on earth, killing trillions every day. Not interested in resources, only in living things to take over. Or so we thought.
    It turns out that there are giant viruses that blur the line between life and death - and other viruses hunting them.

They eat some of your organs but keep the rest alive and functioning so you provide heat, protection from outside and, sometimes, they use your digestive track to pre-process their food and make it into a nutrient rich slurry....

      Because classifying things is stupid at its core. I mean, it's very useful, but when you look at it every living thing is just a marginal variation from another one. All the marginal variations make complexity. So it appears that a flower is something completely different from a giraffe (and it is), so you can classify them. But considering time and numbers, it's all about marginal variations. We think at life like it's a mathematical discrete group, but it's more like a mathematical continuous group
