Book: The windup girl
Dec. 13th, 2011 07:00 pmAuthor: Paolo Bacigalupi
Details: (c) 2009 Paolo Bacigalupi; Pub Night Shade Books 2010; ISBN 978-1-59780-158-4
Verdict: The windup girl is enjoyable, Zeitgeisty SF with enough readability to make up for its flaws.
Reasons for reading it: People are talking about it a lot and it seems to be a major player in contemporary SF.
How it came into my hands: I went to Baen looking for something else, and there it was, with Baen's usual system of DRM-free and sensible prices, so I pounced on it.
