Super random thought: why haven’t I heard more about planets as “living” things?

I mean the earth, as an example, has analogous systems for breathing, has a circulatory system, organelles, memory, immune system, microbes, viruses (Ie: us), etc.

It even shares fractal similarities with other forms of microscopic life.

Anyway, if anyone has any good material along this line of thought (even sci-fi) I’d be curious to explore this idea more.

And yes, I realize Avatar was kind of touching on this subject, but I’d ideally be looking for something a little more developed than that.

And no, I don’t (sadly) do drugs. :)
