"Provoked life"

expressing nihilism

Diane Morgan

pp. 142-166

Floods caused by melting icecaps, whole land-masses submerged; the oceans starved of oxygen by burgeoning algae which thrives off effluent; the once innocuous soyabean genetically modified into an insidious, all-pervasive, cancer-provoking substance; clinically brain dead women used as "alternative reproductive vehicles"; the countryside resounds with the bleats of absolutely identical "Dollies": such is the future facing us. Cows and chickens transformed into zombie killing machines, whose sacrificed carcases seep into water reserves, polluting the whole ecosystem. Humans are eating their own madness as they tuck into their carnivorous cow-rumps. Something is seriously wrong. But who do we trust to put it right?1
