This book is pain's side of the story.Through science, humor, and a fair amount of sarcasm, we're about to take a deep dive into the world of pain, how it works, how it can be tricked, and why it refuses to leave us alone.You're about to learn how pain evolved, how some people feel it more (or less) than others, and how humanity has spent centuries trying (and often failing) to outsmart it. From ancient pain remedies involving crocodile dung (seriously) to futuristic brain implants that might one day turn pain off like a light switch, we're covering it all.And along the way, you might just find that pain is... well, a little misunderstood.So, whether you're here because you experience pain daily, because you're fascinated by how the body works, or because you just enjoy weird science with a side of dark humor, welcome.You're about to meet your pain. And trust me, it has a lot to say.
