In a nutshell, it explains how homo sapiens has shaped portions of the plantkingdom to satisfy our own desires and interests, using apples, tulips, 
cannabis and potatoes as prime examples.

The kicker is that these plants have ended up controlling us as much as, or 
more than, we control them!

An unbelievable amount of history, genetics, ecology and even 
neurophysiology, all woven together in a true masterpiece.
