"These then are tales of metamorphosis, brought about by neurological chance, but metamorphosis into alternative states of being, other forms of life, no less human for being so different" (Oliver Sacks). 'An Anthropologist on Mars' continues to build upon the themes explored in Sacks' 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.' Seven true stories of neurological patients and their conditions such as autism, amnesia, and Tourette syndrome make up this incredible non-fiction masterpiece, tales that have spurred their own audio-visual media adaptations including films 'At First Sight' (1999) and 'The Music Never Stopped' (2011).
