Synth Foods vs. various farmers

[Azan27]

I really liked "The Windup Girl." I honestly was not expecting something like it when I first opened up the book. As for what Sythfoods is doing in the game, they most certainly are manufacturing diseases and immunising their crops against them, then releasing them into the wild to crush the competition. However, this is only a very small part of their techniques used to destroy the competition's crops. The main thing that Synth is doing is altering the atmosphere of planets like Stuttgart, making it so that the very air itself has an unnatural oxygen-carbon-nitrogen ratio, which makes it so that their crops grow fine, while other plants suffocate.

On another note, I would just like to reenforce the "mature" label on The Windup Girl. There is some pretty adult stuff in there. Alltogether, though, very good book.
