The Windup Girl   Paolo Bacigalupi
This novel is so beautifully written, so well imagined, that it’s difficult for me to say anything meaningful about it. In a wholly believable future devastated by genetically altered disease and climate warming, political, technological, genetic, and biological conflict propels the very-interesting characters toward the overwhelming conclusion. See, told you I couldn’t find anything to say. Emiko is the windup girl of the title, and she survives. Loved this book, wish it hadn’t ended.
