Gad Saad, PhD, BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, and an MBA (both from McGill in Toronto,) and a PhD from Cornell.
His main body of research is on cognitive psychology and behavioral decision making.
The main concept of his book is that irrational thinking and ideas (the "parasite") have infiltrated the minds of 'the West,' and are killing common sense.
As a professor at McGill, he has witnessed first-hand what is really happening in progressive safe zones, what the trends in those areas are, how they have an effect on thinking, and how we need to stop the spread of 'dangerous thinking,' which is unreasonable thinking, or illogical thinking.
What he sees as the forces at work at corrupt thought patterns, illogical belief systems and attitudes that are rooted in irrational thought, how this leads to political correctness, and how that political correctness stifles freedom of thought.
An interesting read, on a par with Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules." I think part of the problem is his natural sarcasm and wit do not translate well into quick tweets, and that has given him a reputation for being cruel with his humor.
