What happens when strawberry plants refuse to read the manual on planned obsolescence?In this wickedly funny tale that channels the satirical genius of Will Cuppy, a simple nursery worker named Bunto Fairweather discovers strawberry plants that work too well-producing abundant fruit without chemicals, improving soil instead of depleting it, and generally behaving as if they’d never heard of artificial scarcity.What begins as a horticultural curiosity quickly escalates into an economic crisis when these impossibly productive plants threaten the entire foundation of modern commerce: the carefully maintained balance between human needs and profitable solutions.From the corporate boardrooms of Eternal Solutions Inc. to the algorithmic depths of the WANT system (Widespread Artificial Necessity Technology), humanity faces its greatest challenge: what to do when abundance becomes possible.
