They weren’t there. We passed over the Klone Zone, and the rows of windowless warehouses that force-grew veg. They slid away beneath us, grey anonymous blocks identical to every other in the district save for the neon leaves that identified their roof apexes. I’d heard tell the lights inside were so intensive that the vegetables grew six times faster than in real daylight. The catch was their adverse effect on human tissue. The non-robotic staff had bleached hands, white-filmed eyes and untreatable skin rashes. And that was only on the outside.
