this book is a real treat! The true good anticipation that forces it to ask questions about our society and its excesses by presenting a world where Monsanto and others would come to their ends. The story describes the struggle between different factions or individuals (none seeming better or worse than the others) in search of an ideal / can / or simply hope in a world beset by the worst epidemics and where energies Fossils have almost disappeared from the surface of the globe. A great book I highly recommend
