Damn. I want this book.
"Grain. Vapor. Ray."
It actually ticks with one of my own writing projects, about how the
original five elements (earth, air, fire, water, X) have been replaced with
pollution, smog, radiation, sewage, X2).
X being whatever... but if X is light - the light of the Sun that turns
into plants and then meat, feeding us all, via photosynthesis - then X2 is
the artificial light that shines from video screens and light-bulbs,
wreaking God only knows what kind of havoc with our eons-old natural
systems.
Must purchase!!!
