The year is 7079. Researcher Thomas McManus is dropped in a desert and is meant to find out about an old experiment. He gathers samples of the desert grounds and discovers the collector, the place where the former experiment used to take place. He manages to hack into the computer and is stunned: instead of discovering weed and weed movements he stumbles into a team of weed researchers, or rather whats left of them.
The Way of the Weed is to be found between anti-gravitation and freezing. It is a search in the desert for new life forms in an old experiment.
