The Windup Girl

This novel offers a fascinating look at what might happen in a distant future shaped by genetically engineered crops and animals. Set in a future Bankok where one of the last pure Seed Banks still exists, this is a story of corporate greed, the societal definition of what it means to be human, and the hope that can be fanned to a flame in the soul of a “new person.” The writing is stunning, the characters fully-formed and the setting captivating.
