The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi


I'm not the only person who loved this book--it won a ton of awards last year, including both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. Flash forward to 200 years from now, and assume that an Apocalypse occurred that rewrote the Rules and Reality of the world's Economy, Agriculture and Climate, but left a goodly number of human beings alive to scrabble around in it and try to paste together a post-modern society operating with a lot of pre-industrial technology. If you believe that Climate Change is Real (and if you don't, kindly leave this blog and GFY, or, better yet, just go DIAF), Monsanto is Sinister, and Trouble Writ Large is Brewing, then you will enjoy this book.
