¿Es usted portador de parásitos mentales? "Occidente está sufriendo de una pandemia que impide a quienes se encuentran afectados pensar racionalmente. Esta no es el resultado de la propagación de alguna bacteria o virus, sino de 'ideas patógenas' difundidas por universidades, políticos, medios de comunicación, el arte y la cultura, lo que trae consecuencias devastadoras".

Desde las junglas húmedas de Costa Rica hasta el fétido entorno de las zonas rebeldes del sur de Sudán, Carl Zimmer nos guía a través de un viaje por el universo de los parásitos, un mundo en el que habitamos sin ser conscientes. Así nos descubre no solo la forma de vida más exitosa del planeta, sino aquella que da forma a los ecosistemas y es el motor de la evolución. Zimmer nos muestra, pues, cuánto han evolucionado estos bichos, y relata la aterradora facilidad con que pueden devorar a quien los hospeda, e incluso controlar su conducta.

The change in our ancestors' behaviour was barely perceptible at first. Only a few clues in the archaeological record - sea shells, ochre and stone tools exchanged over long distances - hint at what was to come. Today, a network of interdependence and trade spans the planet - lifting most of our species out of the grinding poverty of the past. But for much of history this engine of human progress stalled, with societies rigged in the interests of small parasitic elites.
