| Title: | The Windup Girl |
| Author: | Paolo Bacigalupi |
| Genre: | Science Fiction/Semi Post-Apocalyptic |
| Synopsis: | In a future Thailand, after the world’s crops have been ravaged by uncontainable contaminations, a corporation man tries to find ways to exploit the stability the Thai people have fought to achieve. Meanwhile in the slums of the city an abandoned genetically modified concubine finds herself both at the mercy of and the cause of society shaking events. |
| Verdict: | Very scary view of how resources, trade and society would be fundamentally threatened and altered by diseases and corruptions that cannot be eradicated by chemicals. A very honest view that doesn’t pull any punches but still lets each character be human rather than an easily pigeonholed caricature. |
