The story blends humor and speculative concepts, focusing on the theme of human manipulation of nature and the unpredictable consequences that result. The story follows a group of scientists who genetically engineer a worm with enhanced extrasensory perception (ESP) abilities. Their goal is to use the worm's ESP to detect underground minerals and oil, revolutionizing the resource industry. The worm, however, turns out to be far more intelligent and powerful than they anticipated.
