This book is heartbreaking. It really needs to be read by every American high school student. It hits hard with valuable critique, and then offers heartening examples of successes that could lead the way forward, and terminates with a warning of our own species being terminated, if we are not careful, by the very bugs we are so often trying to wipe out, ineptly, with disastrous and often ironic boomerang effects. She essentially told us to stop being adolescents, to grow up, and to start thinking ahead before using blanket technologies, which would seem eminently reasonable, if we were a mostly reasonable species. I'm beginning to have to question that old assumption, these days, and I see that that may haave really beein what this book was all about, fromthe very start.
Ugh.
