Summary:
Disaster, biological warfare, environmental catastrophe, and resistance to hegemony. No, its not a description of 2020; its Andrew Yehs science fiction collection, Green Monkey Syndrome. Originally published in 1987 and has never gone out of print, these stories reflect a dystopian future so resonant with our own, it is almost like they came out yesterday.
Set in a fictional East Asia, the four stories narrate the struggles of the tiny island nation of Buron to resist the onslaught of its much bigger neighbor, Garsia, via any means necessary. Green Monkey Syndrome describes the disaster of a pathogenic weapon leaked among indigenous tribespeople; The Gaoka Case tracks through case files a pharmaceutical offensive designed to take advantage of the enemys patriarchal culture; I Love Thee Winona and The Lost Bird describe campaigns to manipulate disastrous weather patterns and deliver bioweapons through migrating birds.
These stories, fortified by the authors own extensive research, paint a picture of transnational warfare and brutal environmental imbalance that will chill the blood of anyone who has been reading this years news. Yehs surgically precise language and compelling narratives read like 1984 meets Brave New World meets the front page of the New York Times.
