...sleek Pudong area—a special economic region that the city transformed from farmland into a breathtaking skyline in only 20 years—I quickly discovered that grabbing Subway, feeding my daily Starbucks addiction, or strolling through the “Super-Brand” mall was actually easier than finding local food...

The planet has become one huge junkyard, as if all humanity were a rock band that had made a shambles of a hotel room, then just strolled out. The only remaining sign of organic life on Earth is that unkillable little bugger, a cockroach...
