Anyone who finds trees interesting should read Richard Powers's amazing, Pulitzer-winning book "The Overstory"

I would also listen to his interview on NPR. The way he talks about trees. I just love it. It's everything that I have always felt inside, but he did the research to prove it.

I knew being a tree hugger would make sense one day.

I just finished this yesterday (excellent) and now I'm wondering... So much is prescient, but is anyone building the video game that will save us ecologically? My fingers are crossed.

Can +1 that, read that book recently on a friend's recommendation. The way he describes how the trees feel is so impressive
