Pushes a lot of timely societal buttons.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with your view that society is held together by a thread; Katrina really brought that frightening thought home for me...<BR/><BR/>If you like this kind of thriller that combines science and/or technology with scary implications for humankind, you might like <A HREF="harmonicbarbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868456821098540309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-69649552609056580692007-10-29T20:11:00.000-05:002007-10-29T20:11:00.000-05:00Sylvia, the book doesn't explain the science behin...Sylvia, the book doesn't explain the science behind the super bugs but it does go into the difficulty involved and how long it took to get there.

Having gone through a few hurricanes and seeing how quickly food supplies, water, and power disappear...and what happens when people get desperate and/or greedy, it scares me to death tho think what would happen if the whole country were hit with that kind of supply problem.<BR/><BR/>The clean-up bugs do exist alreadySam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-17255268254593453722007-10-28T14:40:00.000-05:002007-10-28T14:40:00.000-05:00Actually there is oil-eating bacteria.

Turning it anaerobic, so it could grow underground without oxygen, if that were even possible, would make it incredibly slow-growing.

Who would survive if we were reduced to the methods of a medieval society? This is interesting in the sense that we take it for granted (foolishly, no doubt) that oil will be available until a viable alternative is discovered.
