“Today, in a world riven with conflict, competing narratives, misinformation, identity politics, and selfish nationalism, the parasites remind us of this one abiding truth: The health of one is the health of all. For parasites there are no borders, just bodies. We are all equal before the worms.”

This book may be an actual nightmare but it’s also surprisingly lovely.
