Binding - tight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA darkly satirical work of science fiction, Greener Than You Think chronicles the slow, unstoppable conquest of Earth by a mutated strain of Bermuda grass that, once treated with a growth-accelerating chemical, spreads across the globe with terrifying and unstoppable momentum. Ward Moore presents this apocalyptic scenario not with breathless horror, but with a biting, ironic wit, following the bumbling opportunist Albert Weener as he stumbles into the role of inadvertent harbinger of humanity's doom. The novel illustrates how human greed, bureaucratic inertia, and willful denial allow a manageable crisis to spiral into an extinction-level catastrophe, making it a sharp and prescient satire of modern civilization's self-destructive tendencies. First published in 1947, it stands as a landmark of ecological science fiction, anticipating environmental anxieties that would not enter mainstream consciousness for decades. Mordant, inventive, and unnervingly plausible in its internal logic, it remains one of the most original and underappreciated works in the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810628710619,"sku":"2026600003049-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/815610b7-1591-47f1-89d8-eac904c598b3.png?v=1779806227","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600003049-secondhand-greener-than-you-think","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
