Inside the volume, which is enriched by illustrations by the students of the School of Comics of Rome, you will find an android capable of weaving \"sea silk\" in Sardinia, ailanthus trees that occupy the entire Porta di Roma shopping mall, bizarre phosphorus-vegetal lighting experiments, a skilled \"nanosmith\" expert in the art of Sichuan pepper programming in China; terraforming projects to house climate migrants rejected in the Mediterranean Sea, and native bio-inspired solutions against land expropriation around Lake Baikal in Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\"Each story in the anthology is an ecological solution to the problems of cities and also a suggestion to 'work with' rather than 'work against' nature. In moments of crisis humans always acted according to the scheme of escape. Are temperatures rising? I'm moving north. Is food decreasing? Change continent. This behavior was successful as long as humanity lived in hunter-gatherer tribes. The moment we became sedentary, cities were founded, we need to change our adaptive response. Like vegetables, cities cannot escape. It's time to risk new behaviors and it is more likely that the people \"on the margins\" of the city will abandon their usual responses to seek innovative remedies to environmental changes.\" - Clelia Farris \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrancesco Verso (born 1973 in Bologna) is a Science Fiction writer and editor.
