In 2035, extreme weather increasingly frequent and severe strikes, leaving the world barren, where wildlife no longer exists. How should we view and treat animals...as test subjects...as entertainment...and...as food? Follow our protagonist Grace Sarah Merce and her interactions with animals. In Chapter 1, she conducts animal experiments while grappling with the ethical implications of her work. In Chapter 2, she works at a mall zoo and witnesses the mistreatments and exploitations within. In Chapter 3, she genetically modifies animals to be heat-and cold-resistant. Chapter 3 is also where everything crescendos, when Grace finds out the meat livestock she co-created can... I am Italics. This is Italics. I am here to tell stories. As the second narrator besides Grace, Italics tells stories that centre the experiences and thoughts of animals, from the created in Genesis, to the parrots inhabiting the Amazon Desert in 2035. Inspired by Mike Resnick's "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" and extended from its prequel I Had A Farm, this book is going to take you on a roller coaster exploring animal rights and environmental ethics. And the author warns: You might not look at lab rats, zoo animals, and your dinner steak the same way again.
