Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Greener Than You Think" by Ward Moore is a novel written in the late 20th century. The story follows Albert Weener, a salesman who becomes entangled with Josephine Spencer Francis, a scientist who has invented a substance called the Metamorphizer, which can transform any plant, including grasses, allowing it to thrive in barren environments. This discovery sets off a chain of events that explores the implications of such a powerful product. The opening of the narrative introduces Albert Weener, whose ambitious nature leads him to Josephine's run-down laboratory after responding to an enticing job advertisement. Despite his skepticism regarding her methods and the disheveled state of her workspace, he becomes intrigued by her revolutionary idea of the Metamorphizer, which has the potential to change the agricultural landscape. Weener's journey begins as he reluctantly agrees to sell the Metamorphizer, hoping to make a profit while showcasing the challenges and absurdities of selling a plant-based product to the public. The plot's humor and social commentary unfold as Weener faces the unexpected consequences of the Metamorphizer's impact on lawns and the chaotic events that follow, including a burgeoning crisis involving an ever-growing lawn.
