This provocative work of investigative journalism reveals what our minds and bodies are capable of through the stories of people with astonishing real-life abilities--and the scientists who are revealing the hidden potential in all of us.

The acclaimed author of Gory Details returns with another fantastic, funny look at the extreme edges of science, in the vein of Mary Roach's Replaceable You and Joshua Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein.

Superpowers are real. Okay, maybe our bodies can't fly or produce heat vision, but we do hold the potential for seemingly superhuman feats. This entertaining book will help us understand the science powering our brains and bodies--and discover how we might harness our own special abilities.

In these pages, we'll meet real-life supes including:
