Have you ever had a professor that loves to ramble? They’re very knowledgeable in their field and they have a lifetime of experience, and you know what they’re saying matters but…you kind of get lost between the points. Life Lessons from a Parasite is that professor. While linking fantastic scientific endeavours to current moral and political dilemmas, I found myself wondering how the heck the varying topics would impact me. A better way to phrase this critique is that this book would have been better as a series of essays
This is clearly meant for a specific type of audience: science x social justice — which is SO cool. This is the bread and butter of my teaching, or better yet, using science for social justice. However, this framework of readers also limits readers. I, for instance, wouldn’t be able to recommend this to my colleagues or students, to my family and very few of my friends. Interest will be split 50/50.
The recording of this audiobook tried to keep the dense subjects light, as the writing was also well done, but ultimately listening for hours was draining.
Life Lessons from a Parasite is a great idea in theory, though in practice, it falls flat.
