Annotation | The story is set in a future Texas which is badly polluted, and almost all good soil is owned and strictly controlled by a single corporation. The protagonist is using stolen good soil to grow crops illegally. A second focus of the story is the extreme restrictions on whatever Texas has called a reproduction crime and the harsh punishments imposed on anyone deemed to have committed such a crime. |
