Summary

"The Margenes" by Miriam Allen De Ford is a science fiction tale that uncovers the profound effects of an unusual organism that emerges on California's shores, promising a resolution to world hunger. The narrative explores the far-reaching implications of this new food source on society and the economy, starting with college students who stumble upon these creatures that kickstart an innovative food business. As the nutritious margenes become globally popular, they initially bring prosperity and stability, only to have this reliance turn into disaster when the organisms suddenly disappear, leading to chaos and conflict.
