read over my shoulder

John Todd's essay called Living Technologies: Wedding Human Ingenuity to the Wisdom of the Wild- is basically about how the grossest dankest, shittiest, most polluted water can be purified by throwing in some snails, bottom feeders and plant roots. Not to make it seem too simple. It is the work of a brilliant coordinator. The plants and animals are not hurt in the process. They love that shit. There is hope for the world.
This is my latest subway book.
