About People is a 2021 German novel written by Juli Zeh and published by Luchterhand Literaturverlag. The English translation released in 2023. The story takes place during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in Germany. It follows a woman who departs from Berlin to settle into life in a Brandenburg village community.

The novel became a top seller in Germany. Reviewers noted its focus on human experiences rather than ideological perspectives regarding the pandemic and contrasts between urban and rural living. Critics also drew comparisons between this work and Zeh's 2016 novel Unterleuten, which shares a similar backdrop.
