а вот, смотрите, новые хрущевки:
Christopher Green’s idea is to turn buildings into buzzing and self-sustaining hives of edible insects. The honeycomb-like growth on the upper floors is composed of individual “cells” with crickets breeding in the walls. When they get fat and juicy enough, the residents gather them to take to the core of the building where they’re processed in grinders and stashed away in food silos. Once the cricket colonies hit their peak population, Green imagines that everyone living in such a building could feast indefinitely on the spiny bounty infesting its guts.

Green envisions each cricket having a little digital tag fixed to its back. Taken together, a cell full of tagged crickets would function as a data-storage unit – he thinks about 5 gigabytes per cell sounds right – and the tower itself becomes a “living hard drive.”
и, тем не менее, удивительно, как все перевернулось.
