Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

Slick story about the rediscovery of an alien planet in which humans had adapted to the local fauna thanks to the efforts of one scientist. Why not just read it now? Read Contagion. Reminiscent, in a particular way, of Frank Herbert's The White Plague.
