When a series of amazing events take place all at the same time,
the most extraordinary things can happen, like the birth of a SuperPotato!


In an unlikely Vegetable Microgenetic Center of Research a unique experiment
takes place, which will bring a small potato to be conscious of itself.
A biting and ironic tale in which the radioactive Potato will lead a true revolution of
potatoes, which will get to a compromise with science: no more genetic manipulation
on tubers but projects where science and technology are at the service of Nature.


Inspired by the true story Amflora potato (the first to be genetically modified in the
laboratory for industrial use), the author likes to mix reality and fantasy, picking
the reader's imagination with constant references to scientifically correct data and
formulas, all to be discovered!

A funny text combined with illustrations by the great power of suggestion, which
provide a very timely topic on which both the large and the children can reflect,
discuss and meditate.
