About this listen

 *This book has been retitled and republished as "Plastiphobia" with minor updates to the text. If you have already read this, you don't need to read that one, but if you are looking to read for the first time, I suggest you read the updated "Plastiphobia".


Nonbinary, cis, straight, queer, PhD, GED, human, microbe, AI. Labels don’t matter when you’re trying to save the world…and maybe make a little money.

It wasn't supposed to be able to survive outside the lab, but when the microbe escaped into the ocean, it not only survived, it thrived and changed. Now it consumed not only oil, but any synthetic plastic material. This was a boon to the natural world as the plastic waste in the ocean began to decline.

Then the first ship sank, and it found its way on to land. As everything from car tires to electrical
insulation to synthetic clothing begins to disintegrate, the race is on to find a way to stop the virulent microbe...

Alex felt more comfortable with their artificial intelligence tools than they did around people.
After their break up with Carmen, they just wanted to get away from everything.

Tatsuo thought he had found a way to make refining oil more efficient, faster and more environmentally friendly.
He wanted to use organic life to improve Earth's energy supplies.

Carl was a PhD candidate.
He was hoping the new microbe that he found in the middle of the ocean might be his ticket to his degree.

Jake was a high school dropout.
He just wanted to F*ck around and Find Out.

These are a few of the folks who need to come together to try to stop the ravaging microbe before it's too late.
