The Brains of Earth
text:
The Brains of Earth is a science fiction story by Jack Vance published in 1966. It centers on an invisible parasite called the "nopal" which controls intelligent beings without the hosts being aware of it. This is among many Cold War-era stories that used tales of alien takeovers of people's bodies as an allegory for the paranoia about Communist mind control of the West.
