Manna by Marshall Brain

I can only repeat what I said on one of the many previous occasions this has been mentioned:

    Dreadful - absolutely dreadful. It starts so well, then
    just turns into a thinly veiled rant/diatribe/spiel about
    an overly optimistic forecast of what the future could,
    but won't, be like.

    Bad writing, bad philosophy, bad predictions. Just awful.
