Parasite Rex: Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures by Carl Zimmer

5.0

Some years after I read this book I realised I keep coming back to some of its ideas. We need to take parasites as drivers of who we are much more seriously than we do, its a powerful idea.

The book itself is well written, disgusting at times, terrifying at others, but hard to put down once you get into it.

I keep thinking this sort of drive is what might be relevant to much of current technosocial development, AI etc...
