The Green Leopard Plague
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Leopard Plague is a 2004 novella by Walter Jon Williams that won the Nebula Award, and was nominated for the Hugo Award.
It is based on the idea of a genetically engineered virus that allows people to photosynthesize food, causing total anarchy. It begins in the far future with a mermaid who makes her living by searching old archives. She is approached by a customer who wants her to find information on a man who, it is eventually revealed, was involved in the release of the photosynthesis virus; the story then veers back and forward between his story and the mermaid's.
