”Set in a not too distant future, there is a discovery of plants deep in the forest that have evolved incorporating human detritus. The new species seem to be using plastic containers for water catchment and pipes to form conduits for information sharing. This biological discovery number 35 has been successfully removed from its environment ready for transportation.” - Stuart Bridson
