This book is fine, if a little light and discursive. Not much of a thesis except, “Seeds! They sure are neat. “ Author also had a tendency to bring up historical/political topics, namely around colonialism (full chapters on coffee and cotton), that I felt he wasn’t really interested in engaging with fully, leaving their discussions feel somewhat hollow. He also uses his personal experiences as a touch point throughout, so expect a lot of anecdotes and allusions to his home life and toddler, however that hits you.
