Vizio di forma è la seconda raccolta di racconti fanta-tecnologici e fanta-biologici di Primo Levi. Uscita nel 1971, a cinque anni dalle Storie naturali, è un'opera non solo ecologica ma ecosistemica. Chimico dagli interessi enciclopedici, con una particolare passione per la natura, gli animali, i linguaggi, il piacere della sperimentazione e della ricerca, Levi esplora le infinite possibilità combinatorie che la materia consente, ma non dimentica di cogliere le anomalie, le sfasature, i "vizi di forma" in cui si annida il germe di catastrofi piccole e grandi.
