Decades of industrial agriculture have caused environmental and social damage across the globe. Add to that a love for her city of Oxford where the books are set, and this series is a real winner.

For the uninitiated, hard science, per TVtropes, is “firmly grounded in reality, with only a few fantastic flights of fancy not justified by science, or with the technology being nonexistent in today’s world but probably scientifically possible at some point.” I’ve often found that with hard science, it’s easy, as a reader, to get bogged down with the theories and technologies that’re thrown at you to the point that it distracts from the plot.
