About Parasite by Mira Grant

In a future where a genetically engineered tapeworm helps protect people from illness, boost immunity, and deliver designer drugs, the SymboGen Corporation’s invention has become part of everyday life. Almost everyone carries one.

But the parasites are beginning to seek lives of their own. Mira Grant’s science-fiction novel uses this unsettling premise to explore a society built around biomedical innovation—and what happens when its engineered organisms no longer behave as intended. It may appeal to readers interested in speculative science, biotechnology, and medical science fiction.
