A series of short stories set in a parallel world where parasites are used in everday life and aliens are also part of the picture.
Parasite World is a series of short stories set in a parallel world very much like our own. The born-to-rule Old Etonians are in power in the UK and the president of the USA is a Christian fundamentalist. Nothing much different there then, you say. However, in this world, the aliens landed a hundred years ago and established a colony that has spread worldwide. Not only that, the technology of this world has taken a different path from ours. Parasites are a major resource. For instance, you can use parasites to lose weight, infest sales prospects to make them more amenable to your sales pitch or attack your enemies. And guess who the best people are at developing biotech. Yes, it’s the aliens and they are an interfering bunch who think humans need a little help now and again.
The Old Etonian clique and their mates are not averse to using parasite technology either: most of them have a parasitic homunculus growing out of the right shoulder. This little beast acts as an advisor, whispering in the human host’s ear night and day. The homunculus is also a badge of rank. You are immediately seen as upper crust in English society if you have one. But beware, there are downsides to parasite technology. You might well become a victim of a government plot to reduce the unemployment statistics, find that you are turning into a hybrid between plant and animal with green photosynthetic skin or even change sex. Anything is possible in Parasite World!
