What Is Buğday About?

The premise of Buğday without spoilers.

In a future where global corporations control cities and agricultural zones, a stark divide exists between the privileged elite and struggling immigrant populations facing hunger and disease. When a genetic crisis devastates the city’s vital crops, leading to widespread failure, seed genetics specialist Professor Erol Erin discovers the work of fellow scientist Cemil Akman. Cemil's thesis explored the recurring crises affecting genetically modified seeds, but it was suppressed by the corporation, potentially holding the key to understanding the unfolding disaster.
