What if the solution to world hunger became the instrument of its end?

Ward Moore's classic and chillingly prescient novel, Greener Than You Think, invites you into a world where good intentions and unchecked ambition collide with catastrophic results. When earnest saleswoman Frances McCrath partners with a disillusioned scientist on a miraculous new fertilizer meant to make barren land bloom, they believe they are paving the way for a global utopia.

But their "Metamorphizer" has an unforeseen, terrifying effect: it causes grass to mutate into a single, indestructible, and relentlessly spreading species that begins to consume the world, city by city. As civilization crumbles under the advance of the inexorable green tide, Moore masterfully explores the follies of human arrogance, the law of unintended consequences, and the dark irony of a apocalypse born from the desire to do good.

More than just a gripping sci-fi thriller, this is a work of profound satire and a startlingly relevant commentary on ecological hubris. Written with wit, intelligence, and a mounting sense of dread, Greener Than You Think remains a landmark novel that will leave you questioning the price of progress long after you turn the final page.
