Why read it?

1 author picked Technically Food as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is the newest book on my list, and it reads like a glimpse into the future.

I mentioned my character’s struggle to balance nature and technology earlier. In this arena, the line is even finer. If there’s ever a sequel to my own book, it will surely explore alternative proteins.

From Tyler's list on the science of food.
