Money is the root of all evil

This is a very true saying in this book as it portrays this aspect in many parts of the novel. The whole enterprise of the Eskimos started because the leader wanted money. He wanted money so badly that he was willing to release a DNA-modified fish into the ocean that would eat all the fish. This was because the leader wanted to control the fish market and become rich. Had money not been there then I highly doubt that the leader would have wanted to take over the world through fishing for fun.
