Cosas Vivas, Paperback

Four young Spaniards head to the south of France for the summer and soon find themselves working as temps at one of those biotech companies that have been exploiting the agricultural world for decades, and by some accounts will end up destroying it. In this novel that combines high and low culture, philosophy with horror, and Bola owith punk, the author manages to illuminate the threat hidden in some levels of reality.
