This is an interesting story of a near-future where, after a flawed GMO food caused a disastrous number of deaths, governments have outlawed the GMOs which would help in the burgeoning climate and food supply crises.

This novella raises some interesting questions about choosing the lesser of evils in a crisis – but the plot seems rather disjointed, and I found it really difficult to like the protagonist, who seems to be more enamored of being involved with radical causes than invested in the actual worthwhile causes themselves.

Recommended for those who enjoy speculative fiction about climate change.
