Quote #10
She told me about the scales on butterflies, and the way animals lived in ducts, sometimes whole herds. People would hear the stampeding through their walls. There were new kinds of fungus, she said, that were making jungles where the cables ran. There were slugs so big a toddler could ride them sidesaddle. "The natural world is so adaptable," she said. "So adaptable you wonder what's natural." (36.3)
We get a clue here that nature may have its way of fighting back against the human degradation. There are new—and kind of terrifying—life forms evolving, plus wild animals in suburbs, and bees bursting out of people's walls. Key takeaway point here: don't mess with Mother Nature. Because eventually she'll smack you down.
