Der Urzeit-Code

Published in 2007, Bürgin's book Der Urzeit-Code, is a popular science book dealing with a patent granted in 1980 to the chemical company Ciba-Geigy, which deals with the process of electroculture, which helped to increase the resilience of crops and reduce the use of pesticides on treated crops.

In the book, Bürgin presents electroculture as a more ecologically-friendly alternative to genetic engineering.
