Everyone on the planet owns a human body. Chances are you're sitting inside one right now. But in a world in which social networking platforms, plasma screens and shimmering gadgets conspire to leave us spending more time than ever slumped in a sedentary daze, in a vaguely-distracted coma, our physical form seems somewhow outdated. An arcane jelly-suit. Like something they used to use back in the 1940s. Well, it's time to reconnect with our bodies - with those dumb, gangly-limbed, lumbering fleshy throwbacks to the pre-digital era. Join Charlie Brooker on a whistle-stop head-to-toe tour around your warm, breathing human physique that will leave you vomiting with astonishment and delight. Or maybe horror. Arranged in discrete sections, each dedicated to a separate part of the human body, EVERYBODY'S GOT ONE is a hilarious and eye-opening blend of incredible facts, lunatic flights of fancy, and the occasional strange encounter.
