Beneath the idyllic green rolling hills of a well-off rural area lurks the stench of mafia-dumped toxic waste, polluting the air, the water supply and the food chain, killing off the wildlife and giving cancer to the people who live there.
Think Love Canal as a business model, only the toxic dumping is never discovered.
Also, think CO2 demonization campaign / Climate Crisis psy-op, as a distraction/misdirection to keep attention away from the real environmental crisis: pollution and poisons.
“He [Nate] remembered when they flattened his childhood wonderland of sand dunes and scrub pines to make way for a gigantic shopping mall and a surrounding forest of McMansions.” — This is an experience I suspect most of us here have had. For me it was playground woods making way for rows of townhouses.

Depraved trillion dollar asset management firms transformed an environmental movement concerned about toxic industrial wastes into the "sustainability scam" where corporations are eager to privatize and then plunder the natural environment for exploitation and profit searching for rare earth minerals. 🤑
Thanks to @paulcudenec for a remarkably insightful review of “Wasted”, and for what might turn out to be a significant leg up for the book’s eventual circulation before I crap out. Here’s why I bothered writing the thing:
I’m getting close to doing a follow-up. Nate doesn’t actually die … he ends up getting saved and quasi-immortalized by the trans humanist Aitches, and set on a path that leads him into the orbit of various billionaires, porn people, CIA, MI6 and Mossad characters, an Epstein dude, etc. I actually had some personal exposure to all that in NYC during the 90s and oughts. Same shit at a higher level. Take care!
Bravo. Upton Sinclair meets “Constant Gardener.” You know what’s missing? A marketing budget. A work that clearly deserves widespread attention. What WE haven’t figured out is how to decimate their message. “Safe and Effective.” Or “”Two Weeks To Stop The Spread.” All this toil and talent. It doesn’t matter if WE are not heard. We need to organize and overrun the FCC licensed sycophancy. Or something like that. We don’t “win” by being brilliant.
Round here in very rural Central Portugal there are thousands of small farmers with a hectare or two living largely off the land, with a few chickens & goats, etc. plus own water supply from wells. Meanwhile the Eucalyptus paper-industry is closing in - and chem-trails fill the sky (yet many still deny them). The olive & grape harvests have been mighty poor these last three years. I wonder why.
There is Lithium in this area, including in National Parks. I'm hoping battery technology will move on (hmmm I'm guilty of NIMBY thinking). Meanwhile local markets, food & plant swops, etc abound. Lots of initiatives based on growing & preserving one's own food.

"The reason you feel like mobsters are running the world ... is because they are".
Yep. This is the plain truth and yet it is such an enormous one that most people cannot digest it.
Your novel sheds important light on the subject, Biff, and certainly deserves to be widely read and discussed.
We will never be able to challenge and topple the criminocracy if we can't even accept that it is very real and all-pervasive.

Cool. Can't wait!

My sentiments exactly, Quill.
Thanks for sharing.
