Why Fish Don’t Exist is a genre-defying masterpiece—part biography, part scientific adventure, and part philosophical memoir. NPR science reporter Lulu Miller unravels the chaotic life of David Starr Jordan, a taxonomist obsessed with classifying fish, whose work was repeatedly destroyed by disasters. Through his story, Miller explores the human urge to impose order on chaos, blending history, biology, and personal tragedy into a meditation on resilience, failure, and the beauty of uncertainty.
