Résumé
Le Monde vert décrit un avenir lointain dans lequel la Terre, qui ne tourne plus, s'est transformée en une gigantesque serre dominée par les végétaux. Ceux-ci ont formidablement évolué et acquis des capacités prédatrices redoutables. L'homme a régressé tant en taille qu'en connaissances et doit lutter farouchement pour survivre dans cette jungle.
